The Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest will be officially starting a woodland walk through one of the borough's prettiest forests this autumn to raise much needed funds for Age Concern Bracknell Forest.

Walkers young and old will be pulling on their wellies for a a stroll through Swinley Forest on Sunday, October 7, to raise money for the local branch of Age Concern - a charity which provides essential services such as day care and information and campaigns for better quality of life for people over 50.

Cllr Mrs Gill Birch, Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest, will be getting the walkers off to as fine start when she starts the autumnal stroll - which is open to children and adults.

The sponsored walk will start from Age Concern's day centre in Worlds End Hill, Forest Park, and will feature a supervised three-mile walk for children and five-mile walk for adults through the forest.

Cllr Mrs Birch said: "The ACORN Walk promises to be a delightful stroll around Swinley Forest and I urge everyone to pull on their walking boots and join in the fun.

"Age Concern Bracknell Forest is a great charity that does a lot of hard work and this walk will help raise funds so it can continue to provide an excellent service for some of our most vulnerable residents.

Sponsorship forms are available from Age Concern Bracknell Forest.
