Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden, is supporting Wealden charity Rotherfield St Martin’s own Memory Walk in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society on Saturday 17 September.
Rotherfield St Martin (RSM) is a community-led charity dedicated to providing support for older people living in Rotherfield and surrounding areas. In collaboration with Alzheimer’s Society, RSM have set up their own memory walk this year, and are inviting local residents to join in.
Last year, 36 RSM walkers raised an amazing total of £1,600 for the Alzheimer’s Society and this year, they are hoping to make the event even bigger. This year, the walk is taking place on Saturday 17 September, and two local circular walks are available: a 4km walk along the country lanes, and an 8km walk through the surrounding countryside. Each of the walks will start at the RSM office in the centre of Rotherfield and finish at The Kings Arms garden for refreshments.
For further details, or to sign up, please call 01892 853021, pop into the office at Memorial Institute, North Street, Rotherfield or email [email protected].
Nusrat Ghani said: “Rotherfield St Martin are a fantastic charity, selflessly dedicating their time to supporting our elderly and vulnerable. I have been working closely with them on making Wealden communities dementia friendly and I am pleased that they are running their own Memory Walk as a regular event. The walk is open to all, and I would encourage local residents to lace up their boots, come together in support or a memory of loved ones affected by dementia, and support this vital cause.”
