Registration information for the 2021 Sponsored Walk: Easter Challenge, 29th March – 11th April
Sponsored Walk: Easter Challenge Route information
This year’s annual Sponsored Walk will take us around Great Britain, visiting areas where Derwen College students have come from in recent years – all virtually of course!
The route covers over 2,000 miles and takes us through England, Scotland and Wales. Starting and finishing at Derwen College, this is a group challenge, so the more of us that take part, the easier it will be.
Sponsored Walk Dates
Staying within government COVID-19 guidelines for your area, complete one, or a number of activities any time between 29th March and 11th April to help us complete the Easter Challenge.
Remember to wear appropriate clothing for your activity. And it is important to follow the Highway Code to keep yourself and other safe. Please click here for the Highway Code Rules for Pedestrians.

We continue to fundraise to provide our students with opportunities to enhance their learning and independence skills. However, Derwen College relies on donations to make this happen. We raise funds to provide the specialist tools, equipment and experiences our students need to reach their goals.
