Walkers aged 65 to 95 on the Isle of Wight raised £375 in a sponsored walk for older people.

Isle of Wight County Press reports that a group of walkers aged 65 to 95 raised £375 in a sponsored walk called Plod the Prom on Shanklin Esplanade. The event, organised by personal trainer Ellen Robinson, saw participants complete as much of the Sandown Revetment and Shanklin Esplanade as they could in one hour. Some walkers used walking sticks or wheeled walking frames. Each participant received a medal.

The funds support the Age Concern Centre on Regent Street in Shanklin, which supports older people through social activities, hot meals, shopping trips, and a daily open door for company and conversation. One walker, Diane, raised £157 in sponsorship. After the walk, the group returned to the centre for tea and cake.
