🛫They're off! Our sixteen intrepid trekkers have left for their five-day challenge along one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

After being kindly dropped at the airport by Premier Minibus Travel, the group fly to Beijing tonight to embark on their trek along a remote section of the Great Wall of China.

This adventurous bunch have already fundraised over £58,000 for our care!

The trekkers will cover just under 50km in five days, with a total ascent and descent of over 3,000m.

Want to get in on the action? We're planning a Moroccan Sahara trek in March 2028, with an information evening in January for anyone who wants to find out more. Visit www.strichards.org.uk/events for more information.

Next year will mark 45 years since British forces liberated the Falkland Islands. For some of those veterans who fought in that conflict, this may be one of the last major anniversaries they see.

We have confirmed that commemorations will take place on the islands to mark the anniversary, honouring those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom of the Falkland Islanders.
