My 21 mile walk in the Lake District has become so much more meaningful now. My sponsorship is going to help support the work of New Era – supporting mental health.

‘Nobody has ever trusted us to do something from start to finish. It was really hard work but we actually felt like we achieved something. Its exciting to think how New Era will be using the outdoor space with groups of children and young people in the future’ (16 year old volunteers who donated their time to erect the new bike shed)

After New Era supported our family after a really difficult time I just felt I really needed to give back some of my TIME. Now I volunteer every other week with their children and family work
