Allonby Fundraising Walk...
On Saturday 16th May volunteers took part in an Age UK West Cumbria Fundraising Charity Walk at Allonby. The event was organised by Hazel Stewart of Age UK West Cumbria and was well attended by volunteers, colleagues and friends. The weather was bright and sunny, rather breezy with a bit of a nip in the air (should have worn my hat)...but absolutely glorious! Hazel said "We couldn't have wished for a nicer day, it was absolutely lovely. I would just like to thank all those who gave their time to participate in the event and also forward my thanks to all those who supported walkers".
