June 2022: Stonehaven Horizon group<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In June, we have worked hard to raise \u00a3375 for the Horizon Group in Stonehaven. They are an amazing voluntary group who aim to improve Stonehaven town, making it a better place to work and live in for the local community. Through their donations, they are able to help the community through maintaining floral displays; working with school eco-groups and reducing the amount of litter in the town – which is something we strive towards in\u00a0protecting the environment here at The Bay.<\/p>\n

A huge thank you to everyone that helped us along the way.<\/p>\n

The walk took place on 18th April and spanned an impressive 96 miles with camping along the way! For more information, please take a look at our blog, where Calum talks about why he decided to take part and what health and wellbeing means to him:\u00a0https:\/\/bit.ly\/3wulLxa<\/a><\/p>\n
