We'll be doing a sponsored walk around Barnard Castle on Sunday 22 June to raise funds for the Ruth First Scholarship. It'll be just under 10 miles (15 km).
This year's Ruth First Scholar, Nafisa Roza, will be joined on the walk by supporters of the Scholarship.

UPDATE 1 JULY: We completed the walk on 22 June. There was a bit of rain but not enough to dampen our spirits. And we had a wonderful tea at Diana's house afterwards.

THE WALKERS WERE: Roza, Sarah J, Helen, Sarah B, Alice, Susan, Liz, Patrick and Mike.
Please make a donation to help cover the costs of bringing the next Ruth First Scholar to Durham in 2025-26. The sponsored walk is our most important fundraising activity of the year. Our costs have been rising, so every gift, however small, makes an important contribution.
