Saturday 14 October
10:30am St Paul's to St Paul's Sponsored Walk

On Saturday 14 October, we are walking from St Paul's Church in Grove Park, Chiswick to St Paul's Cathedral – a distance of 10 miles. Please join or sponsor us!

The walk starts at St Paul's Church, Chiswick W4 3SB at 10:30am. We suggest a contribution of £20 for walkers, which you can now make using our GoFundMe page, where sponsors are also able to donate. 

We will assemble outside the church at 10:30am, picnic in Kensington Gardens between 12-1pm and arrive at St Paul's Cathedral around 3pm where we will congregate in the Middlesex Chapel for a time of prayer and reflection. There will also be the opportunity to look round this iconic building, and have a welcome cup of tea in the Crypt Café! All walkers are then invited to attend Choral Evensong which is from 5-6pm, during which St Paul’s Church will receive a blessing. We suggest taking the train back home afterwards; the nearest stations are St Paul’s (Central line) and Mansion House (District and Circle). 

We will be walking whatever the weather so please bring appropriate clothing and don’t forget a picnic! There are also cafes and plenty of shops en route. Children are most welcome, either on foot or in a buggy and if you would like to join us for part of the walk there are plenty of tube and bus stations along the way.

We are aiming to make this our bigest fundraiser of the autumn, so please get involved! St Paul's church and garden are used for coffee mornings, toddler groups, concerts, yoga classes, rehearsals, poetry readings, meditation, quiz nights, meetings, study groups, recitals and more! All funds raised by the walk will go towards ensuring that it continues to be a warm, hospitable and safe space, open to everyone. Repairs to the roof, essential boiler and electrical maintenance and replacing non-functioning lights with more efficient LEDs are some of the necessary renovations that will be required this winter. We also have plans to expand the garden, making it more accessible and able to be enjoyed by even more of the local community. Please help us to secure the future of St Paul’s as a thriving community hub where all are warmly welcomed! 

For more details and to add your name to the list of walkers, please go to https://gofund.me/3e7e0f08 or contact Simon Surtees.
