We're after intrepid fundraisers to take on the challenge of a glass walk in August.

The challenge, which takes place on Friday 5 August at Morel Court in Penarth, near Cardiff, will see participants walking barefoot over razor sharp glass.

The money raised through the event will go towards supporting older people through the charity’s community-based Live at Home schemes, music therapy and chaplaincy services.  25% of all sponsorship will also be going direct to Morel Court.

There is a registration fee of £20 and the charity asks that fundraisers raise at least £100 for MHA, which will go towards its work with older people in Penarth and across the country.

Zoë Steer, Community Fundraising Manager – West, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for people to try a new and exciting activity at the same time as raising funds for our vital services supporting older people.”

Full training for the event will be given to all participants at 6pm. All participants must attend the training in order to take part. The minimum age to take part is 12.

Friends and family are welcome to watch the intrepid walkers. Tesco Cardiff Bay is kindly sponsoring a BBQ at Morel Court during the event. This is free for event participants with a £5 charge for their supporters.
