Children at St Swithin Nursery Step Up for Charity with 44-Mile Challenge

Children and educators from Bright Horizons at 44 St Swithin are set to take on an inspiring fundraising challenge this June, aiming to walk a total of 44 miles in support of the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children. 

Throughout the month, the children will work together to reach the 44-mile target, tracking their progress and celebrating each milestone along the way. 

Vicky, nursery manager at Bright Horizons at 44 St Swithin, said: 

“Our children will be walking together and tracking their progress on a special chart so they can see just how far they’ve come. We’d really love the support of our local community as we raise money for Bright Spaces. Every donation, big or small, will help us make a difference. Thank you for supporting our little walkers.” 

Funds raised will go towards Bright Spaces – safe, calming environments created by the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children to support vulnerable children and young people during challenging times.
