Step to the beat for Inner Wheel walkers

Event to raise cash for eating disorder charity

Inner Wheel members of Scarborough will hold a Step and Smile sponsored walk on Saturday, during Eating Disorders Awareness Week, to raise funds for Beat, the UK’s eating disorder charity.

The walk will start at the Spa Complex at 2pm, finishing at around

4pm at the Watermark Cafe on North Bay.

Inner Wheel members, who will be wearing silly socks, have each raised sponsorship but they will also be collecting from people along the way.

The Association of Inner Wheel clubs in GB&I has chosen Beat as its charity of the year and National President, Zena Coles said: “My 18-yearInner old granddaughter was hospitalised due to an eating disorder. I know many of our members will know of people who have experience of this distressing problem, either through friends, or like me because a member of the family is a sufferer.”

Inner Wheel’s support will help to fund Beat’s national helplines and Young Ambassador programme for volunteers aged 14-25 across the UK with personal experience of eating disorders.

Beat’s Community Fundraising Officer Andrea Auburn, said ‘We are delighted that Inner Wheel of Scarborough are organising this walk to help Beat to fund our helplines and work with young people.

“Their kind support will help Beat to change the lives of more people affected by eating disorders.”
