Breaking Boundaries with the Mayor 5 Fun Filled Fundraisers
From 3rd – 7th April , the Mayor of Dacorum , William Allen , will take on a 100km-sponsored walk to ‘ break the boundaries ’ of Dacorum . The donations raised from this walk and the events along the way will advance The Mayor ’ s Fund 2024 , an initiative to help local charities and organisations across the borough administered by Community Action Dacorum . William invites locals , friends , or anyone who wishes to support the cause to walk alongside him for a leg ( or all !) to raise valuable funding for a variety of local causes . If the walk doesn ’ t sound quite so appealing , residents can join one of the fantastic fundraising events along the way instead , taking place across the 5 days !
The cost-of-living crisis has taken its toll on charities , organisations , and individuals alike across Dacorum and the UK . The Mayor ’ s Fund 2024 will allocate targeted grants to those who otherwise may not be able to source sufficient funding . For example , donations from this event could support a food bank for families and individuals struggling to make ends meet , help households connect to save on their utility bills , or provide transport to rural elderly residents needing to get to medical appointments .
William , the Mayor , commented “ I am really aware that more than ever , local organisations are struggling for funding to make the impact that they so passionately work towards . By sponsoring me , walking with me , or joining me for a quiz , some local history , or even just a local pint , you ’ ll be helping the future of Dacorum .”
THE MAIN EVENTS ARE :
• A classic pub evening – Three Blackbirds , Flamstead , 3 April ( 6.30pm )
• Dacorum Heritage Trust : Royal connections to Dacorum – Ashridge House , 4 April ( 6.30pm )
• Brewery Tour and Indian Street Food – Tring Brewery , 5 April ( 6.30pm )
• Quiz night – Westbrook Hay School , 6 April ( 6.30pm )
There will also be a series of lunchtime events for walkers and supporters along the way , hosted by local organisations and businesses . The five days will conclude with a celebratory service at 4.30pm at All Saints Church , Kings Langley .
