A KEIGHLEY charity which provides much needed support for people with cancer is preparing an important fundraising walk for its activities this autumn.

Keighley and Airedale Cancer Support is based in New Devonshire House and one of its members, Clare Taylor, is organising a "Withens Welly Walk".

She said: "We rely on volunteers to help raise funds, run the therapies and provide organisational and administrative services.

"So if people fancy some fresh air in beautiful countryside while raising some money for a fantastic cause, and are prepared for what the weather throws at us, please join us.

"The walk will also help to provide a moment of reflection close to Remembrance Day."

The trek takes place on Saturday November 11, with participants meeting at the Old Sun Hotel, 79 West Lane, Haworth.

There will be two route options. The first is a 7.6 mile walk to Top Withens and back and the second a shorter five-mile walk to the Bronte Waterfalls and back.

Entry donation fees are £10 per adult and £5 for under 16s, with an option to also raise sponsorship.

Anyone interested should contact Clare for an entry form by e-mailing clare@keighleyairedalecancersupport.co.uk or calling 07710 990069.

Entries must be received by November 10 at the latest.
