Adullam Homes and Hummingbird Local Community Support

Walk a mile …

Or many miles!

An exhilarating sponsored walk is taking place in Derbyshire’s High Peak in August, bringing together two organisations that provide support and hope to the community.

The Adullam/Hummingbird Sponsored Walk 2024 will go from Buxton to Glossop, a distance of around 17 miles which is expected to take about five and a half hours to complete.

The route will be largely off-road and take in attractive locations including Hayfield, Chapel en le Frith and Whaley Bridge.

The event has been planned by Adullam Homes Housing Association in partnership with The Hummingbird Project.

Adullam is a Community Benefit Society, an Association created in 1972 to support vulnerable individuals and households. It is Ofsted registered and in the High Peak provides supported accommodation services for 16/17-year-old young people who are looked after, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and young people leaving care post 18, assisting them to transition into education, training, employment and independent housing.

The Hummingbird Project is a community clothing bank, based in Glossop but serving the wider community of Derbyshire, High Peak and Tameside. The Project provides free baby equipment, children’s and adults’ clothing, footwear, outwear, school uniforms and more for the homeless or for those who are struggling.

Support for the event is being provided by Adullam Social Enterprises (ASE), a not-for-profit Community Interest Company Limited by guarantee.

The walk is planned to set off on Friday, August 26th from Buxton and end in Glossop, with pit-stops along the route.

Funds raised by the event will be shared between the Hummingbird Project and Adullam’s young people’s services welfare fund which directly helps homeless young people and care leavers to access financial support for transport, activities, educational opportunities, emergency food and clothing and an array of other aspects of assistance to overcome barriers.
