Banbury dementia charity opens its doors to the community for social event

Banbury dementia charity Dementia Active has challenged residents to take on its walking challenge this June.

Participants are encouraged to walk the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles) over the course of a month.

On Sunday, June 30, all participants and staff members of the charity will gather at Banbury Rugby Club for a 10-mile walk.

Gail Seward of Dementia Active said: “The challenge can be completed throughout the month of June in any way you wish.

"Anyone not able to join us to walk the Banbury fringe walk on June 30 can still take part in the challenge. But obviously, we hope for a really great turnout on the day!”
