A GROUP of intrepid walkers will be heading from Notting Hill Gate to Hare Hatch later this month
The shoe leather will be worn down over the 31.8 miles it takes to walk from the London tube station to Yeldall Manor, a residential rehabilitation centre in Hare Hatch near Twyford. It helps men with drug and/or alcohol addictions.
So far, 30 supporters and staff from Yeldall will be taking part in the Walk For Freedom, which will be held on Saturday, April 27. The band will set off from 8am, reaching Yeldall in the evening.
Notting Hill Gate tube station might seem like a random location, but it actually has strong connections to Yeldall’s history.
Sue Hedger, Yeldall’s supporter relations manager, said: “It was on a tube train pulling out of Notting Hill Gate that Bill and Joanie Yoder (Yeldall’s founders) had their first encounter with a drug addict, a man named Derek, in desperate need of help.
“From there they began to bring men out of central London to rural Berkshire to a secure place where they could offer these men healing, wholeness and hope.”
Money raised will go to Yeldall’s Good Samaritan Bursary Fund – which enables men who cannot otherwise get funding to come to the Manor and get treatment.
