About

The Good Shepherd are encouraging residents of Wolverhampton to join them in a series of walks during Thursday lunchtimes in June, as part of the Miles into Meals fundraising campaign.

Miles into Meals is the Good Shepherd’s aim to encourage people to get active in whichever ways they wish and seek sponsorship to support the charity’s work in the local community.

These walks, leaving from the Southgate entrance at West Park and involving one circuit of the park, will see staff aiming to mark the Good Shepherd’s 51^st year in Wolverhampton by completing 51 miles, whilst also giving the public the chance to chat to staff, volunteers and service users about the work of the charity.

Can you join us on one or all of the walks and attract some sponsors to raise money which will go directly into our food service?

The schedule for the June walks is as follows:

• Thursday, June 1^st: Celebrating the work of volunteers.

• Thursday, June 8^th: Highlighting the work of the food service with staff and food partners.

• Thursday, June 15^th: Our Housing First team will be walking with service users talking about the transition from life on the streets to managing their own property.

• Thursday, June 22^nd: Focus on the art classes and meaningful activities as well as the work delivered with refugees.

• Thursday, June 29^th: Looking ahead to the future, talking about how the charity has evolved in the past and ambitions for the future.

Guests will be welcome on all of the walks, which will be at a leisurely pace!  People can meet at the Southgate entrance at West Park, near Park Road East, at 11.50am on each day, ready to leave shortly after noon.
