People walking outside in cold weather

Put on your warmest clothes, brave the cold, and get walking to support local older people most in need during the winter months.

Feel like getting active this winter? Walking is great exercise and we’re frequently told that doing 10,000 steps a day has many health benefits. Why not challenge yourself to keep fit while raising money to help Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin offer friendship, advice, and practical support to older people in your community?

What you’ll need to do:

  1. Decide where you’re going to walk, when you’ll be doing it and the distance you’ll be covering.
  2. Ask for sponsorship from friends and family, set up a JustGiving page using this link: https://www.justgiving.com/ageukshropshireandtelford and tell everyone what you’re doing and why.
  3. Wrap Up & Walk!
  4. Feel good knowing that the money you’ve raised will help make a life changing difference to older people in your area.

Thank you so much for your support, for more information or any questions please contact 01743 233 123 and ask to speak to our Fundraising team or email fundraising@ageukstw.org.uk
