Tara Group Canal Walk

On the 20th of June, the Tara Group will be walking 35km along the canal, raising money and awareness for two incredible charities doing vital work in our communities, Suicide&Co & Burntwood Be a Friend.

Suicide&Co supports people bereaved by suicide. Losing someone to suicide can be an incredibly isolating and misunderstood experience. This charity provides grief counselling, a helpline, and essential resources for those navigating life after such a loss. They work to break the silence around suicide, remove stigma, and ensure no one has to go through the journey alone.

Burntwood Be a Friend is a local community group committed to tackling loneliness and isolation, especially among the elderly and vulnerable. Burntwood Be a Friend connects volunteers with people in need of companionship, whether it's through friendly visits, phone calls, or community activities. Their work fosters inclusion, kindness, and support where it's needed most.

As a group, we aim to collectively walk 1,500 miles by the end of the event! That’s over 3 million steps!

We’re proud to be supporting both of these life-changing organisations. Join us, donate, spread the word, or cheer us on! Every donation, share, and words of encouragement helps us go further.
