TIME is running out for charities to take part in a fundraising walk in Whitehill & Bordon.

Organisations around East Hampshire – but especially those local to Whitehill & Bordon – are invited to sign up for the Charity Walk for Peace, an annual event which raises money for good causes.

The deadline to register is Friday, April 8.

This year’s walk is due to start and finish at Hogmoor Inclosure on Saturday, May 21. It is run in partnership by East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Elders Association (AMEA) with a view to supporting local good causes and fostering strong communities.

Cllr Julie Butler, EHDC deputy leader, said: “The Charity Walk for Peace is always a great day with a wonderful atmosphere.

“Over the years we have raised thousands of pounds for charities, so if any community groups are interested in taking part in a fantastic community day and receiving a share of the money raised, they need to register before Friday, April 8, or else they might miss out.”

Mr Zakariyya Choudhry, regional president of the AMEA, said: “Our motto is love for all, hatred for none, and we would love to see the people of Whitehill & Bordon come out and take part in this year’s Charity Walk for Peace.

“The more people who come the more money we raise and that is good news for everyone involved.

“If you run a charity locally, make sure you apply to take part and your charity might end up benefiting from this great event.”
