Former BBC News Presenter invites community to step into action for charity
Former BBC News presenter, Nicholas Owen, is calling for keen walkers to lace up their boots and take part in the Surrey Hills Hike on Sunday 20 March.
The walk is being held by The Children’s Trust, the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury. Participants can take in the sights of Surrey during the hike which covers local areas including Walton-on-Hill and Mogador and choose either a five-mile or ten-mile option to enjoy with family and friends. All willing walkers taking part will receive a medal, a warm drink and a big cheer at the end.
Nicholas, based in Surrey, and a long-time Ambassador and volunteer driver for the charity, will be seeing off walkers at 10:00am from the charity’s headquarters in Tadworth on Sunday 20 March. Having supporters on site is a big step for The Children’s Trust, after being forced to close its doors to many visitors and volunteers due to the pandemic.
Speaking about the Surrey Hills Hike, Nicholas said:
“I am absolutely delighted to be seeing off keen walkers and supporters of the charity on the Surrey Hills Hike. I have been an Ambassador for The Children’s Trust for over 10 years and know that support is integral to the charity in helping them continue their important work.
“There are still places available for the Surrey Hills Hike and I encourage anyone interested in supporting this fantastic cause to step into action and sign up today!”
Places for the Surrey Hills hike cost just £10, with all proceeds going to The Children’s Trust. To sign up for a place, visit: www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/surreyhillshike.
