I ask for a £5-£10 donation for adults to Reading charities (that change each year), I'm non-profit making, so far I have raised over £33,600 in 9 years I set up Terry's Reading Walkabouts (guided walks) in 2016 with the aims/objectives:-
1 To get fitter in a proactive way,
2 To pass on my love of Local history, culture, famous people, Myths, battles, gardens, architecture, gardens, buildings, an
d more in a fun way
3 I have lived here all my life (my parents before me) & feel that many people now living or travelling to Reading (RDG) do not know about or fully appreciate it’s history, facilities and opportunities e.g. the beauty & accessibility of the Thames, King's & Hills Meadows.
4 I’m a people person & greatly enjoy meeting, helping people. I cannot think of a better way of doing, then hosting my Walkabouts.
5 To raise monies for many local charities
