Full Circle Fund

Take a virtual walk to Aachen and support Happy Days homeless charity

Posted on

It is 520 miles to Aachen, Halifax’s twin town and we think that together we are up for the challenge!  In addition to the walks below, team Full Circle will add up our additional miles walked but we really need your help to get there!

The proceedings of this fundraiser are for the homeless charity Happy Days.

The walks will be at a gentle pace and  about 5 km long. Please wear suitable clothing and sturdy footwear. Everyone is welcome to join.

This is a great opportunity to meet with friends, connect with new people, learn about Happy Days and spend some time appreciating the beautiful Calderdale countryside.

For more information on the project and for the individual walks, please visit FCF Virtual walk to Aachen – supporting Happy Days | Localgiving
