Welcome to our Charity Walk.
The route has been specifically selected for its variety and interest, giving walkers the opportunity to go through areas of Gatcombe Wood and the sensitively restored grounds of Avening Court (closing at 15.30), both of which are not normally open to the public. This is with the kind permission of the owners.
The full walk is a 10-mile circular route, the shorter walk is 3-4 miles long and both are well sign posted with marshals along the route to keep you on track. Entry again this year is by voluntary donation so please give generously if you can and should you be unable to do the walk but would still like to contribute, you can always sponsor our community walker, Assumpta Golding from The Kitchen in Minchinhampton, or do a virtual walk and fundraising via Virgin Money Giving.
Donations can be made via our Virgin Money Giving link.
ALL WALKERS ARE REQUIRED TO CHECK-IN AT MINCHINHAMPTON LIBRARY.
All the important walk information can be read and downloaded below, see under the ‘Registration’ section; please read it carefully and remember that by registering, you are agreeing to the Walk Terms and Conditions and to respect the personal space of fellow walkers. We can then all enjoy pleasant and safe walk.
See you there.

Wi-Fi Challenge Results!
The total raised was a very gratifying £18,525. This well exceeds our original target and is not far off the expected final cost of the entire project. Enormous thanks to everyone who took part and donated so generously, a great result.
Horsfall House 500 Club
Why not support Horsfall House by joining our 500 Club?
This is a really good way of helping the work of the Charity and also gives you the opportunity to get a return on your money.
Each share costs £24 for 12 months, with a minimum commitment of one year. Payment is by Standing Order (to keep our admin costs to a minimum) and you may purchase as many shares as you wish. The prizes total 50% of the Club’s income each quarter and are apportioned as: 1st prize 27%, 2nd prize 13% and 3rd prize 10% (so prize values rise and fall with the 500 Club income).
If you would like to join, you’ll find detailed 500 Club rules, an application form and Standing Order mandate below to download and print then return to us. Or you can call Horsfall House to post these forms to you.
The Club is administered by Dee Wiggett on behalf of the Trustees and she can be reached at Horsfall House, Windmill Road, Minchinhampton GL69EY or on 01453 731227 or email: dee.wiggett@horsfallhouse.co.uk
Draws take place quarterly after the end of February, May, August and November.
Good luck!
