We’re delighted to be bringing our first-ever fundraising event to Aberystwyth this summer, inviting the community to light up the seafront in support of local children and families. 

Our new 5km Glow Walk will take place on Saturday 8th August, starting from Aberystwyth Bandstand form 8.30pm, with participants setting off on a sunset walk along the promenade.  

Walkers will follow a route, looping around the town’s castle as dusk falls and the promenade begins to glow.  

The family-friendly event is open to all ages and abilities, with participants receiving a glow headband to wear during the walk and a bespoke medal at the finish.  

This marks the first time we have hosted a dedicated fundraising event in Aberystwyth. 

Bekki Fardoe, our fundraiser, said: “We’re excited to be launching our first-ever event in Aberystwyth. It’s a brilliant opportunity to bring people together for something fun while raising awareness of the care we provide to children and families across Wales.  

“We want to reach more families that may benefit from our services across Ceredigion and this is our first step is raising awareness of us as a charity in the area. 

“The Glow Walk is all about coming together as a community, whether you take part with friends, family or on your own, and every step will help us continue to provide vital support when it’s needed most.” 

You can take part individually or as part of a group, and friendly dogs on leads are also welcome.
