FUNDRAISING EVENTS - Walk Against Domestic Abuse 2013
In 2012, one service user and her Support Worker joined Ramblers Cymru on the Colwyn Bay Coastal Path and raised £140.75 for Hafan Cymru. This year we would like to multiply that success by doing the ‘Bala Challenge’ as our ‘Walk Against Domestic Abuse’ 2013!
The Date: Saturday 11th May 2013
Registration (minimum) fees (you may pay more - all proceeds go to charitable causes):
