Walking for Woodlands
18 walkers from Maghull and Lydiate u3a took part in the Light up the Night event for Woodlands Hospice . As you can see from the photos we really got into the spirit of it. Up to now, without taking into account Gift Aid, we have raised at least £2300.
Woodlands recently looked after Sylvia and Pauline and in the past Ian and Diana, who were all members of our u3a walking groups .
We would like to thank the people who supported us, this helped us raise such an amazing amount of money .
Woodlands have told us we have achieved the largest donation for this event .
Well done everyone.
