Two staff from a charity that cares for disabled children put their best foot forward to take on Malvern's End to End challenge.

Newlife's digital marketing manager Sarah Chattwood and friend Katie McDonald joined Newlife’s lead graphic designer, Jennifer Mottram, on the hike which took in nine miles of breath-taking views across Worcestershire and Hereford.

They raised around £600 between them to help provide essential specialist disability equipment for children across the UK.

Sarah said: “It was a hot day which made it a bit more challenging, and it was steeper in parts than anticipated, but Newlife is a great cause to raise money for and it really spurred us on and kept us motivated.

“Working for Newlife we know how important it is for disabled children to receive the equipment they need – and the money we have raised so far will mean that a child can now receive a piece of equipment such as a specialist car seat or buggy that meets their needs, so they can go travel to school, attend vital medical appointments and enjoy those family days out that make childhood so special.

Jennifer added: “It was a great day and we all enjoyed it. We want to thank everyone who has donated so far - we have received so much support and encouragement.

"It’s a great feeling to be able to help disabled children and their families receive the specialist equipment and support they need.”

The guided walk organised by Blue Sky Adventures took place on Sunday, May 14.

Newlife, which has its headquarters in Cannock, is the largest charity provider of essential disability equipment in the UK – and provided 2,581 pieces of specialist equipment, equipment loans and sensory toy loans to children throughout 2022.
