Charity trek to support vulnerable young people
A 72-year-old YMCA Norfolk ambassador is set to embark on a 104-mile charity walk.
Andrew Hadley will take on the Norfolk Coastal Path in June to raise money for young people experiencing homelessness.
He will start on Saturday, June 1 at YMCA Community Housing in King's Lynn and finish in Hunstanton on Wednesday, June 11.
Mr Hadley has already raised £20,000 and hopes to reach £25,000 by the end of his trek.
He said: "This isn't just a walk.
"It's a way to make a difference — to give young people in Norfolk the chance to build a better future.
"YMCA Norfolk changes lives, and I want to do my bit to support their work."
The 10-day trek will take Andrew through some of Norfolk's most scenic locations, as he highlights the urgent need to support vulnerable young people and raise awareness around youth homelessness.
YMCA Norfolk provides housing, support, training, and wellbeing services to young people across the county.
