2024 Fun Walk Raises Over £100,000

At a Celebration Evening in November attended by many local charities and community groups, John Baron, Chair of the Fun Walk Trustees, announced that the 2024 Fun Walk had raised nearly £101,000 with an estimated 2,000 supporters taking part in sponsored walks across Essex.

John welcomed Professor Michael Almond, Deputy Lieutenant of Essex, representing His Majesty the King, Commanding Officer Simon Tayor and the 2393 (Billericay) Air Training Cadets, as well as Jim Shrubb the Billericay Town Cryer, and thanked them for their support of the Celebration evening.

John Baron said:
“I confirmed last year that I wished to continue my involvement with The Fun Walk Trust charity that we established in 2002, and which has since raised over £1,635,000 for local charities and good causes.”

“To be part of the Fun Walk over 22 years is a great honour. It represents the best of our communities in working together and marries a very strong charitable and entrepreneurial ethos by encouraging businesses to donate into the bonus pot which in turn encourages charities to do even more.”

BBWCVS has been responsible for administering the Fun Walk since 2019.
