Memory Walk 2020

Memory Walk for the Alzheimer’s Society 2020
This year we were unable to take part in the usual Alzheimer’s Society Memory Walk at Blackpool due to the national events being cancelled during the current pandemic.
Not to be deterred we decided to arrange our own socially distanced Memory Walk around the local area, starting at our office in Walmer Bridge taking in Longton Brickcroft and Ashwood Court, where we grabbed a quick cup of tea courtesy of Progress Housing Group to help us on our way. The walk was coordinated and led by Matthew Gibbs of Walx Preston who patiently organised us and ensured that we kept safe distances and walked in our bubbles. Carolyn Heller from Heller Podiatry was on hand to give us tips on footcare and some lovely samples and Spar at Walmer Bridge provided us with water and snack bars. Our managers son, Oliver, took some photos of our event
We had a lovely morning, the weather was kind and so were the local community with lots of ‘well done’ and ‘good luck with your walk’ as we went on our way. We enjoyed the company of dogs and children, ducks and swans and a relaxing walk for a fantastic cause.
We had raised £300 on the day, thank you to all who donated, and are hoping to increase this amount as the week goes on. Our just Giving page is up and running until the end of the week and we will let you all know our final total.
