Pewsey Vale Support Group for Hope and Homes for Children(HHC) held their annual summer walk for the charity in sunny weather on the evening of July 12. A total of £494 was raised from donations and the group look forward to their major fundraising event – the Carol Concert in Marlborough College – which this year will be held at 4pm on Saturday December 14.
This year over 30 walkers enjoyed a circular 2 hour walk starting and ending at Walkers Hill, Alton Barnes. Alison Netherclift, from the Pewsey Vale Support Group Committee, said, “The views from the top were stunning. Many thanks to all who came and to those who couldn’t make it but were kind enough to make a donation. A total of £494 was raised in support of the work of Hope and Homes for Children. The charity works all over the world, with Ukraine being one of the countries where HHC work.”
HHC has a local connection. Colonel Mark and Caroline Cook, who lived in West Stowell, near Marlborough founded the charity after their experience of Bjelave orphanage, in Bosnia. The charity is now working around the world to get separated children out of orphanages and back to family.
