Thank you to the 14 people who joined our 2018 fundraising walk centred on Arundel and to those who sponsored us.

On Saturday, 2 June we met by the war memorial in Arundel, then walked up the steep main street past Arundel Castle and Arundel Cathedral and through Arundel Park on to the South Downs.

The day was beautifully sunny and warm without being too hot and we had stunning views on the Channel, woods, farmland and river.

We lunched in the walled garden of the delightful Bridge Inn at Houghton before walking back along the banks of the Arun River to The Black Rabbit for afternoon tea and chance to rest our feet.

Finally, the last mile back to Arundel past Swanbourne Lake and a peaceful stream full of ducks and swans.

All the money we raise from this walk is going towards new ministry in Borno State, North East Nigeria where people have suffered horrendously in more than a decade of insurgency.

Now the situation is stabilising and it is time for Grace & Light to send a team into Borno to restart our ministry there, contacting existing volunteers, visiting church leaders, speaking in churches, testing people for HIV/AIDS and setting up life sharing groups.

There is still time to support this work as our online fundraising walk page closes on 31 July. If you would like to give please visit 2018 Circular Walk in the South Downs
