Sandringham walkers from local Guides, Rainbows & Brownies
Sandringham is an ever popular location for walking at the best of times and is often the location for many a fundraiser.
This was certainly true of Rainbows, Brownies and Guides from Hunstanton and Heacham who, along with leaders and families, took their four-legged friends on a Sponsored Walk in Sandringham in support of Guide Dogs for the Blind on Sunday 16th October.
Following their walk, the weary bunch enjoyed a hot dog and a mug of soup, prepared bytheir Trefoil Guild – with treats for dogs too! They were blessed with a lovely sunny afternoon and an amazing 75 people who came to support them helped the groups to raise around £400 and there is more to come I hear.
The Kings Lynn fund-raising Branch also had a successful stall. In addition, Cynthia Easeman brought along her Guide dog, Olivia to meet everyone. The Group are always happy to come along to group meetings etc with their dogs and to show some of the useful aids available to make life easier for partially sighted people.
After the walk we were treated to a hot dog and a mug of soup, prepared by our Trefoil Guild – with treats for dogs too! It was a lovely sunny afternoon and the good turnout (around 75 people) helped us to raise in the region of £400 with more sponsor money still to come.

Well done to you girls.
