A HOSPITAL charity is inviting people to join a Welly Walk at Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park.
Colchester and Ipswich Hospitals Charity is encouraging people to stomp their way around an exclusive 5km walk at the farm, in Wherstead, near Brantham, in support of The Children’s Appeal on September 25.
There will also be a shorter, buggy-friendly 1km walk so families and children of all ages can enjoy the fun and mascots Puddles and Rosie will also be there to cheer them on.
The picturesque route will take you to parts of the farm not usually accessible to the public.
Jimmy Doherty, ambassador of The Children’s Appeal, said: “It’s our absolute pleasure to host the Welly Walk again this year.
“Welly Walk is the perfect way to bring your family together and get exploring the outdoors whilst supporting such a worthwhile project.”
The Children’s Appeal is fundraising for a multi-million pound re-development to transform every centimetre of the Children’s Department at Ipswich Hospital.
Planning permission has been granted for the scheme, but the charity needs a final push to get is over the line.
