Hundreds of walkers are putting their best feet forward in a sponsored walk to help end poverty.

Kind-hearted people from North Staffordshire are stepping out on Saturday, 25 March in a sponsored walk to raise money for international development charity Christian Aid.

The North Staffs Walk is an annual event which has been taking place for more than 30 years and so far has raised more than £1 million to help projects in communities around the world.

The walk is taking place around Tittesworth Water, on the edge of the Peak District National Park, just off the A53 near Leek, and participants have a choice of the two routes, starting from the marquee at the Visitor Centre. 

The event is held with permission from Severn Trent Water and will be launched by the Bishop of Stafford, Matthew Parker and Christian Aid's Nick Georgiadis, director of fundraising and supporter engagement who is also taking part.
