Ayers Explorer Scout Unit Fundraising Event To Support Forces Childrens Trust

Ayers Explorer Scout Unit in Carlisle are always desperate for funds to support their own members to enjoy the many opportunities Scouting provides, but also attempt to support the wider community in various ways.

This year they will be donating 50% of the funds from their sponsored event to the Forces Children's Trust. The trust is a small charity devoted to helping children whose father or mother has died, or has been seriously injured, whilst serving as a member of the British Armed Forces.
Ayers are a very active unit of 14 to 17 year olds who like a challenge; therefore they have planned a 24 hour endurance walk, setting off from Lancashire / Cumbria Border on Saturday 23 July at 10am, aiming for Carlisle City Centre in 24 hours (a distance of about 54 miles)
