The 26km Challenge

23 October 2023 | Blog

Last week, during National Adoption Week, the St. David’s team embarked on a significant challenge, walking 26km along the South Wales Coastal Path.

Symbolically, this distance represents the average number of adoptive families we approve each year. Despite slightly achy legs and sore feet, our team triumphantly crossed the finish line! Your donations have so far helped us to raise over £1,000.00!

We are immensely proud of everyone who participated and grateful for the support we received. If you’d like to contribute, click HERE
