THE 2022 Bracknell Together Walk, organised by Easthampst­ead Rotarians, is on Sunday, May 22, again hosted by South Hill Park.

The three-mile walk is wheelchair­friendly and the 5-mile route dips into Swinley Forest. Walkers receive a ‘goody bag’ at the start, and a certificat­e at the finish.

The registrati­on fee is £5 per adult or £20 for a team of five or more adults, with no limit on the size of the team. Entry is free for all accompanie­d children under 14.

Any profits go to our Rotary charities. Recently, we have focused on supporting our local Foodbanks and The Cowshed, who all provide help to local families in a time of crisis.

Our walkers are families, groups and clubs who have fun, and fundraise for their chosen charity. It’s suitable for all ages, and dogs are welcome too.

Raise money for your favourite charity - every penny you raise goes to the charity of your choice - and you can boost your charity fundraisin­g with cash prizes from Easthampst­ead Rotary Club. You can start anytime between 9am and noon.

A Welcome Pack and Finishing Certificat­e await every walker, and hot and cold food and drinks are available all day. Also, we have a facepainte­r, so get made up.

So banish those covid blues, have some fun and raise much-needed funds for your favourite charity or good cause in the Bracknell Together Walk.

Walkers are signing up now at bracknellt­ogetherwal­k.org

And if you’re feeling more energetic, then why not join us on our Three Counties Cycle Ride on Sunday, June 12?

Starting and finishing at Garth Hill College, there are three well-signed and marshalled routes, 15, 33 or 54 miles through the Berkshire countrysid­e, dipping into Oxfordshir­e and Buckingham­shire on the longer routes.

See our website https://3ccr.org/ for maps, photos and to reserve your start time.

All for local charities.

Internatio­nally, Rotarians have been at the forefront in the vaccinatio­n of children against the crippling disease Polio. Now, that infrastruc­ture is being used in the global fight against the Coronaviru­s.
