🌊NEXT CHAPTER – WIRRAL COASTAL WALK FUNDRAISER🌊
This isn’t just a walk… it’s a movement.
We’re taking on the Wirral Coastal Walk with the Rotary Club as they celebrate their 40th anniversary, and we’d love you to be part of it.
At Next Chapter, we support children (8+), adults, and families through early intervention mental health support, helping people build confidence, resilience, and hope before challenges become crises.
Because when support comes early, everything changes.
💙 WHY WE’RE DOING THIS
Last year, our Peer Mentor Layla completed the walk and quietly set something big in motion. This year, we’re turning that spark into a team effort.
A whole community walking together, staff, service users, family, friends… and yes, even the dogs (on leads, behaving and feel safe in large crowds)
📍 THE WALK
20km coastal route finishing at Thurstaston
Choose your challenge:
• 6km – Leasowe Common
• 12km – Kings Gap (our team finish point)
🎯 OUR GOAL: £2,000+
Every step helps us grow opportunities for young people, including:
• Ensuring that our young peer mentors continue to have the opportunity to support young people in our community and grow their knowledge and skills
• Expand our weekly Games Club into a structured youth programme
• Purchase of equipment and be able to offer enrichment activities chosen by young people
• Develop life skills (communication, leadership, budgeting, decision-making)
• Fund experiences such as cinema trips, bowling, laser quest, Commando Joe’s, family events, and … ambitiously, day retreats
The aim?
To give young people real ownership, real voice, and a real sense of belonging.
