The Ilkley Manorlands Fundraising Group are organising a fun 'Paws For Manorlands' charity walk at the end of May and local dog walkers are invited to take part.

Taking place on Sunday 31st May, the Ilkley Three Bridges Walk is a mostly flat circular route along the River Wharfe, making it suitable for all ages and abilities, and takes around 45 minutes.

The walk will start at 10.15am from Ilkley Moor Vaults on Stockeld Rd, where it will also finish. On route there will be a fun dog quiz for the children with prizes and a raffle.

A spokesperson for the group said: "We are holding the walk in memory of a much-loved mum of one of our volunteers.

"The relaxed and social community walk will raise vital funds for the hospice, which provides expert palliative care and support for people living with life-limiting conditions, as well as care for their families. Manorlands needs £15,000 every day to continue delivering its incredible care."

Tickets are just £10 per family/dog and can be booked by contacting the Group on 07779336747 or email ilkleymanorlandsfundraising@gmail.com

Organisers would like to thank the many local businesses supporting the event through sponsorship and raffle prize donations, with raffle tickets available to buy on the day.
