In 2022 our summer walk is raising funds for new volunteer training in Nigeria during the second half of the year.

On Saturday, 11 June we will begin at the war memorial in Arundel, walk up past historic Arundel Castle and Arundel Cathedral, then through Arundel Park and onto the South Downs for fabulous views out to the Channel.

We then walk down and along the Arun River to Houghton Bridge where we will stop for lunch in the secret garden at the delightfully quaint Bridge Inn.

In the afternoon we will walk along the opposite bank of the Arun River, to North Stoke and back past the Wetlands Centre and Swanbourne Lake to Arundel for afternoon tea.

There will be plenty of time in Arundel to explore its array of antique, book, craft and sweet shops.

If you are not confident you can walk the full 10 miles, you can begin or end at The Bridge Inn, which is close to Amberley train station.

You don’t need to raise funds from other people to join us, making a donation to another walker is absolutely fine.

If you choose to raise funds, we can provide a sponsorship form – contact Jo Ann Eastgate for a copy at jo.ann01@btconnect.com.

Please do let Jo Ann know you are joining us.

You can also create your own fundraising page at www.peoplesfundraising.com/fundraising-team/grace-light-sponsored-walk-2022

If you are not able to join us for our walk, please do sponsor one of our walkers at this website.

Prayer Requests

Please pray for:

• Fine warm weather, not too hot, without rain or strong winds so we have an enjoyable walk
• Lots of good conversations and fun during the day
• Generosity in sponsorship so we can fund at least one new volunteer training programme in the autumn.
