A group of friends who walk in the Lake District every week has donated £450 to the work of volunteers with Fix the Fells.
Frank McGrath, of Cockermouth, said: “A group of us walk in the lakes every week and make a small donation on each walk which we collect and donate to a charity each year. We donated to Fix the Fells as we use all the Lakeland paths.”
Fix the Fells is a partnership programme between the National Trust, the Lake District National Park, Natural England, Friends of the Lake District and the Lake District Foundation.
Joanne Backshall, Fix the Fells programme manager, said: “We’re very grateful for this kind donation. We’re delighted that people enjoying this wonderful resource realise they are contributing to the erosion occurring and are willing to contribute to its repair.” For more details go to www.fixthefells.co.uk
