As organisers of the 2025 Saffery Rotary Walk, we are inviting charities this month to make their pitch for a share of the funds that will be raised. Each year a number of local charities are chosen to receive a share of the sponsorship collected by walkers who take on all or part of the epic 39 mile challenge of walking the Island’s coastal path in its entirety. Last year’s donations exceeded £90,000 which were distributed amongst 21 deserving charities.
Jannine Birtwistle, the Walk’s charity co-ordinator, said “Applications are welcome from all registered charities or non-profit organisations located on any of the Islands in the Bailiwick.”
“Applications need to be made on the form that can be found on this site or by clicking [Application Form] and submitted within the timescale shown on the form. Bids must relate to defined initiatives that are instrumental to helping the charity meet or advance its objectives. Regrettably, we are unable to contribute to core salaries, recurring overheads or annual running costs.”
This will be the 27th Guernsey’s Round Island Walk, and during its lifetime, over £ 1 million has been donated to local charities.
Make this YOUR year to benefit from the generosity and extraordinary endeavour of over 1,000 walkers that we expect to welcome again in June to take part in this iconic event in the annual Guernsey calendar.
