BONUS cheques were awarded to projects that took part in a charity fun walk at Barleylands.

John Baron MP and trustees of The Fun Walk Trust awarded the cheques.

Each project received a bonus above what they raised themselves in sponsorship on the day.

For every £100 raised by projects in sponsorship, the bonus pot added £65.

The total cash raised both by the projects and bonus pot sponsors came to £100,000, bringing the total monies raised for local causes to £1,064,000 since the Fun Walk started in 2002.

Mr Baron said:“The 2018 Fun Walk has been another huge success and brings the total monies raised for good causes since 2002 to over £1,000,000. Our thanks go to all who have helped along this journey, including our extensive family of volunteers and past and present bonus pot sponsors.”
