The Big Push 2012

On Saturday 30th June 2012, we held our first Big Push event.

The Big Push is the NCT's newest fundraising event, and funds raised will be used to combat isloation in new parents.

People start to gather at the Bandstand

People started to gather at the Bandstand in Jubilee Gardens at about 10am, to drop off the cakes they had made for the stall, and to get their faces painted by Clare of Making Faces.

Some of the cakes donated by members

Then Annabel Line, a personal trainer who runs The Green Workout and Buggy Bootcamp in Ely, came along and motivated our little crowd with a few warm up exercises.

Then we were off.

Cakes anyone? Only 50p!

and with our leader pointing the way

And we're off

the walk began with a left turn, along the waterfront, through Pocket Park, around the town,

past the Cathedral,  (you can see the route here)

We are lucky to have such a beautiful place to walk

and after little over an hour, we were back.

The walkers return

In total, we raised £644.37, which we are very proud of for such a small branch. We have already started thinking about next year's event. Be a part of it and help us make the 2013 Big Push even more successful.
