World Aid Walk Guernsey 2018
by Lisa Beauchamp Apr 23, 2018
What better way to experience the beauty of Guernsey and Herm than on foot while raising money for various charities to help the poorest countries across the world.
There’s no excuse not to participate in the 2018 World Aid Walk as it takes places on bank holiday Monday 7th May at 9am.
Sponsored by Sarnia Hotels and Specsavers, 2018 marks the 48thanniversary of the Guernsey World Aid Walk and the 8th Herm World Aid Walk.
The chosen charities to benefit from your walking efforts are: Action Aid, Christian Aid, The Tumaini Fund, This Is EPIC, and The Eleanor Foundation.
All donations, every penny and pound will be doubled by the Overseas Aid & Development Commission. This means the more people who participate, the more funds can be raised to support the charities and change lives.
So, put on your walking shoes and check out the route starting from Market Square, St Peter Port, which follows an anti-clockwise direction across to South Cobo, up to Rousse Tower, then down to the Vale Douzaine Rooms, then finishing back at the Market Square. Estimated time of arrival at Market Square is 4.30pm.
