Easter Monday's annual six-mile Scalby Charity Walk is set to bring around two hundred participants together to enjoy local villages and pubs while raising money for Futureworks.
The Yorkshire Coast is once again playing host to a beloved community tradition as the Scalby Charity Walk welcomes participants. This popular local event is designed to bring people together for a day of gentle exercise, socialising, and crucial fundraising.
Organiser Michael Whiteley has been coordinating the efforts for this year's walk, ensuring that the route offers a pleasant experience for everyone involved.
The primary focus of the fundraising this year is Futureworks, a charity recognised for its vital support of youngsters and young adults.
To boost the charitable total, a large prize draw has been organised. The local business community has rallied behind the cause, generously donating a variety of fantastic prizes to fill the prize draw squares.
The planned route is a scenic six-mile journey that incorporates three lovely local villages: Scalby, Burniston, and Cloughton.
Along the way, the walkers will have the chance to rest and refresh at four well-known local pubs.
The designated stops include the Three Jolly Sailors, the Red Lion, the Blacksmiths Arms, and the Oak Wheel, before the group finally concludes the walk back at the Plough.
A special presentation is scheduled to take place at the end of the event, running from half past two until a quarter to three in the afternoon, where the prize draw winners will be celebrated.
Organiser Michael Whiteley said:
"It's a six-mile walk and it takes in three lovely villages- Scalby, Burniston and Cloughton and four lovely pubs- the Three Jolly Sailors, the Red Lion, the Blacksmiths Arms and the Oak Wheel and then back to the Plough. And then we have the presentation from around 2.30, quarter to 3 with all the all the prizes. We've got a big prize draw as well we've got lots of local businesses, donated fantastic prizes for our prize draw squares. And we're raising money this year for our main charity is Futureworks, which do some fantastic work with youngsters and young adults."
The logistics of the walk have been carefully mapped out to take advantage of the local geography and safe walking routes.
The walk is celebrated for its welcoming environment, consistently drawing a crowd of around two hundred walkers who are eager to soak up the community buzz.
Detailing the route, Michael Whiteley added:
"We go out on the main Whitby road to the Three Jolly Sailors and then we go up through Burniston, through Cloughton and the far end of the walk is the Red Lion, which is where we have the second drink. And then back towards Scarborough to the Blacksmiths Arms in Cloughton so we use the Cinder Track from the Blacksmiths we go down on the Cinder Track and then we bob out back onto the road for the Oak Wheel and back onto the Cinder Track all the way through to Scalby, Lancaster Way and then back into Scalby village. It's a lovely walk and just a great atmosphere every year there's probably about 200 walkers people that just want to come along and just enjoy the the community buzz really."
