Walkers are being sought by a Shropshire charity which has launched a brand-new event for 2025 guaranteed to bring a bit of sparkle to an early summer evening.
Shimmer Walk 2025 is Severn Hospice’s first Telford mass participation event in over five years which will see supporters raise money for the charity.
Lizzy Ellis, event fundraiser said: “We’re so excited to launch Shimmer. We hope that everyone is looking forward to it as much as we are.”
Participants will set off at 9pm on 10 May from Charlton School, where there will be an ‘event village’ with music and a motivational warm up, to Apley Woods. Along the way, there will be fun zones while the woods will be festooned with fairy lights lending an enchanting atmosphere.
If they wish, walkers can visit the hospice’s gardens at Apley Castle and light a lantern remembering loved ones who are missed.
“This will be a lovely way to remember those who we have cared for, while at the same time enjoying a walk through the woods,” added Lizzy.
“All we ask is that each person taking part aims to raise £50 in sponsorship.”
