Carlisle Mencap have announced their first major outdoors fundraising event since lockdown.

On Saturday, June 5th, Carlisle Mencap is staging a sponsored Guided Walk Across Morecambe Bay Sands to raise funds for the charity.

The walk will start at 2.30pm on Saturday, June 5th from Arnside in Cumbria and will cross the sands over to the finish point at Kent’s Bank in Lancashire.

The walks are between 6 and 8 miles, depending on the route taken, and they are suitable for any children and adults who are comfortable walking for up to four hours.

Participants are asked to bring suitable clothing, footwear, sun/wet weather protection and water.

Mencap are also planning to run a coach thanks to Caldew Coaches on the day, departing from our Grace Little Centre in the morning and returning from Kent’s Bank later in the day.
