They did it! Age UK Croydon and Sunrise of Purley Sponsored Walk

On Saturday 5 June, the Sunrise of Purley and Age UK Croydon team took part in a 16 mile walk to raise money for Age UK Croydon!

Setting off from Sunrise of Purley, the team walked to Epsom and back again, stopping off at a local pub along the way for refreshments.

Jo Dunbar, Communications Manager at Age UK Croydon said: “It was a hot day, and it was longer than I thought it would be, but we had such a great time. I actually enjoyed it! People have been so generous, and we knew that every step we took, we were raising valuable funds for a great cause, so it kept us going!”

Age UK Croydon will use the funds to continue to provide services to support local, older people, including social activities, and to help people stay connected to others through the pandemic.
