How does SLCT20 - Capital Ring Walk help Shining Life Children's Trust?

Walkers are invited to make a donation of £20 per section they walk. For this small donation, they will be guided on the walk, receive a printed guide of the walk, a fairtrade energy bar and a special certificate. (If you intend to walk several sections over the year, a reduced donation will apply.)

Your donation could pay to set up a children’s club, building children’s confidence and self esteem and enabling them to work together to address the inequalities they experience, or pay for health workers to teach a community about basic nutrition and hygiene.

Why should I do SLCT20 - Capital Ring Walk?

SLCT20 - Capital Ring Walk will help Shining Life to improve the lives of disadvantaged children in Sri Lanka. In addition to this, it is a great way to discover unfamiliar parts of London and learn about its history, landscape and wildlife, whilst keeping fit and meeting other walkers. The start and finish of each section is easily accessible by public transport, the walks are not too challenging, and many are wheelchair and pushchair-friendly.
