Big Walk adds £2000 to Exeter Foundation pot
The Exeter Foundation’s annual Big Walk has raised over £2000 for the charity.
On September 20th, nearly 100 participants walked 10 miles from Sandy Park, through Exeter’s Riverside Valley Park and back to the Rugby World Cup venue.
Building on the success of previous events, walkers enjoyed a Sandy Park pasty and drink on their return and the New Zealand v Argentina World Cup game was screened.
Exeter Rugby Club Deputy Chief Executive and Exeter Foundation Trustee, Keiron Northcott, said: “On behalf of the Exeter Foundation, I’d like to congratulate all the walkers who took part in this year’s Big Walk and thank them for their fundraising efforts.
“I’d also like to thank our sponsors, swcomms, Northcott Beaton, Santander and Landrover Experience.”
The funds raised will go into the Foundation’s ‘undesignated pot’, separate from monies collected from bucket and car park collection on Exeter Chiefs’ matches.
These non-designated funds can be applied for by local projects that are occurring within Exeter and its surrounding areas via a formal application process.
The Trustees of the Foundation welcome applications from any local project, no matter the size. All charities and organisations that are interested in applying for funding for an upcoming project can email enquiries@exeterfoundation.org.uk to request an application funds pack.
