On Sunday 2nd June, 11 Birmingham causes and charities joined forces for our annual ‘Wheel’n’Walk sponsored walk in Cannon Hill Park. The goal was to promote inclusion and raise funds on a sunny day in Birmingham. More than 300 people, including families, carers, and children of all abilities and backgrounds, took part in the Wheel'n'Walk event. It was a highly inclusive and accessible walk, marking our largest organised event.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this year's heartwarming, enjoyable, and inclusive gathering. The event kicked off with an inclusive warm-up led by 'Fitnniss', followed by ‘The Dhol Crew’, bringing energy to all participants. Everyone received a medal, certificate, goody bag, water, and refreshments.
The 11 charities and causes are:
1. Cerebral Palsy Midlands www.cpmids.org...
