Week 4 Progress!

LAS members and our staff team have all made fantastic efforts to put in the steps and rack up the miles this week.

Michael has been racking up the steps in his local park with his dog, David explored Brimham Rocks, and William played with leaves on his outing. Jack had fun at Hetchell woods and Michael strolled round Newmiller Dam. Great work team!

Support Our Fundraisers!

We have some great fundraising efforts underway, but we need your help to reach our goal!

Check out our fantastic Fundraiser pages to make a donation. Charities have been hit hard by this years Coronavirus pandemic and our normal calendar of fundraising activities has sadly, been put on hold.

So please think about supporting your local charity with a donation this Christmas, because even just a small amount, like the price of a cup of coffee, can really go a long way!

How Far Till We Reach John O'Groats?

We have 374 miles left until we reach our finish point which is the John O’Groats signpost, in bonnie Scotland!

Keep up the great work team! :)
