Nelson’s Journey invites brave supporters to Firewalk for bereaved children and young people 

Norfolk’s childhood bereavement support charity Nelson’s Journey is inviting supporters to take part in a Firewalk Challenge, all in aid of raising vital funds and awareness of the charity’s work with bereaved children and young people in Norfolk.

Taking place on Saturday, 26th September, the Firewalk will see a number of courageous supporters step out of their comfort zone and conquer their fears, all whilst knowing that every step and sponsorship is making a difference to the lives of bereaved children and young people across Norfolk. 

With just over a month to go until the big event, there is still time to get excited and sign up for this unforgettable experience. 

The event is kindly sponsored by SLM Group, an ongoing corporate supporter of the charity.

Andy Bullimore, Operations Director of SLM Group, said: 

“Supporting local communities has always been at the heart of what we do at SLM Group, and Nelson’s Journey is a charity that makes an extraordinary difference to bereaved children, young people and their families across Norfolk. Through our commitment to donate £1 for every new and used vehicle sold each quarter, and by sponsoring the upcoming Firewalk, we’re proud to play a small part in helping them continue this essential work.

Every child deserves the support they need after experiencing the loss of someone close to them, and we’re honoured to stand alongside Nelson’s Journey in helping make that possible. We hope the Firewalk inspires people to get involved, support the charity and help ensure these vital services continue for years to come.”

Maisie Close, Funding and Marketing Officer from Nelson’s Journey, added: 

“We are very excited about our upcoming Firewalk, which will see several brave supporters step out of their comfort zone and support Nelson’s Journey. Whether you’re conquering your fears, honouring someone special or simply looking for an unforgettable experience, this is your chance to make a real difference by signing up for this challenge!”

Funds raised through the Firewalk Challenge will help Nelson’s Journey continue delivering services, including one-to-one support, therapeutic activities and activity weekends for children and young people across Norfolk.
