Join the Mayday Community Walk on Sunday 1st May. We are raising money through sponsorship for a mobile sound system for use by the three communities of Hele, Barton and Watcombe. We aim to raise £1,000 and the sound system will be available at the community centres for parties, discos and events. We will be setting off from the Windmill centre at 10.30am and finishing at the Acorn centre, walking past Hele’s Angles and stopping at the Medway centre, on the way. There will be a refreshments at each centre plus a fantastic fun day outside the Acorn Centre. Anyone who is a part of the Hele, Barton and Watcombe communities is invited to be involved in the sponsored walk. There are lots of different things to do and be involved with, such as planning, doing the walk in full, doing the walk in part, helping with refreshments at each centre, handing out leaflets at Heles Angels, helping with the fun day, sponsoring a walker, or offering support and encouragement.
