Congratulations

Congratulations to our WI members and supporters who took on the Three Peaks Challenge on 11th July. You had a hard challenge ahead of you and then to add to the pressure the heatwave was still going strong, making every step that little bit more difficult.

Those who took part were all unanimous in their feedback that they enjoyed every minute even though it was the hardest challenge they have ever taken on.

Melissa Green our CEO took part and said 'What a brilliant day. A rewarding challenge and I just felt so proud to be walking on behalf of the WI. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone. I'm still buzzing from what we achieved together and from witnessing the grit and determination of WI women. Thanks to those of you who joined us on the day. You all did us proud.'

To date we have raised nearly £4,000 from our walkers and that number keeps rising.
