Welcome to the ‘Louise Smalley Walk’ website!
The Louise Smalley Walk is an annual sponsored challenge walk, 40 miles in length.
We hold the walk to help raise money for local charities and good causes.
We are based in Whitwell, North East Derbyshire.
The Heritage Route 2022
This year, the Louise Smalley Challenge Walk took place on the 18th June 2022.
For 2022 completed the Heritage round route. This is a fantastic circular walk which will start, and end, at the Royal Oak in Whitwell. The 40 miles will take walkers through a range of historic locations within our local area.
The blisters, aches and pains were definitely worth it. Now comes the really difficult bit – extracting your sponsor money from the people who said they would support you. Below are the instructions for what to do once you have collected your sponsors money.
Option 1
Use the bank account details below to make ONE bank transfer to the Louise Smalley Walk Fund.
Account Name: The Louise Smalley Fund
Account Number: 90347167
Sort Code: 20-55-62
Once you have transferred the money please email lswalkapplication@gmail.com and let us know:
- The name / number of the walker(s) the sponsor money is from – we know some families / groups may make one transfer which covers more than one walker.
- The amount that you have deposited.
Option 2 – For those who have raised sponsorship directly through Ashgate Hospice Just Giving.
For our records, and so that we can recognise all of your efforts, we need to know how much money has been sent directly to Ashgate Hospice. Please email lswalkapplication@gmail.com and let us know:
- The name / number of the walker(s) the sponsor money is from – we know some families / groups may make one transfer which covers more than one walker.
- The amount that has been raised.
If you have any issues with either of these options, please email us and let us know.
All sponsor money needs to be deposited by 1st September 2022.
