Lancashire Sponsored Hike: Saturday 20 March 2027

5km EASY sponsored walk from a Ribble Valley village in Lancashire.

This is the weekend of Palm Sunday, and provides an opportunity for you to do some fundraising during Lent as we pray, fast and give.

We plan to make this less of a challenge, and something that is relatively easy, but still 3-miles long, and generally on the flat, that all ages and abilities of adult can enjoy together.

We will be led by an experienced walk guide.

Register early for this walk by clicking the orange button below, as numbers will be capped at 50.

The Caritas St Joseph’s Penny appeal

For over 100 years, young people have collected their pennies and loose change during Lent to raise funds for children in families less fortunate than themselves.  Old and young, if you’d like to do the same at any time of the year, we will bring your coins back into circulation for a good cause.
