25 local charities and non-profit organisations to benefit from this year’s Saffery Rotary Walk

The Saffery Rotary Walk, one of the most anticipated charity events in the local calendar, is thrilled to announce the 25 local charities and non-profit organisations selected to benefit from the funds raised during the 2025 Walk.

Taking place on Saturday 7th June 2025, this iconic 39-mile coastal challenge invites walkers of all ages and abilities to take part and raise vital funds for these Bailiwick based worthy causes.

This year’s chosen charities represent a wide range of community-focused initiatives, including healthcare, sport, social care, arts and leisure. Together, they exemplify the diverse ways local third sector organisations enhance the lives of islanders.

By participating in the Walk, every step you take and every pound you raise will help support the many vital services provided by this year’s beneficiaries.

Walk Chairman, Simon Milsted, emphasised the importance of community involvement:
"The Saffery Rotary Walk is a special opportunity for our island to come together in support of extraordinary causes. Thanks to the immense support of our sponsors, every penny raised by walkers is available for our beneficiary charities.

“By signing up for the Walk, you’re not just taking on a personal challenge, but also contributing to a collective legacy that will benefit countless people across the Bailiwick.”

Simon added: “I encourage everyone to register, lace up their walking shoes, and join us on Saturday 7th June. Together we can help these charities continue their invaluable work.”

Lisa Vizia, Director at Saffery Trust, echoed Simon’s call to action and highlighted the importance of early registration: "We are proud to support the Saffery Rotary Walk, a fantastic event that showcases the generosity and spirit of our community.

“This year’s charity beneficiaries are doing incredible work, and every pound raised will go directly to their efforts.”

Lisa continued: “Signing up early not only secures your place but also gives you time to fundraise and train for what promises to be a truly rewarding day. Together, we can create real change for these deserving causes."

The Saffery Rotary Walk is open to participants of all fitness levels and abilities, making the event accessible for everyone.
