Wakefield Trinity Community Foundation are delighted to announce that ‘Walk With Wakey’ will return for 2025!
The Foundation are inviting sponsors, Wakefield Trinity supporters and members of the Wakefield community to join us in walking from the DIY Kitchens Stadium to The Jungle on Friday 5th September ahead of the latest derby between Castleford Tigers and Wakefield Trinity that evening (8pm).
Previous editions of ‘Walk With Wakey’ have seen thousands raised for local causes – including MY Hospitals Charity and the Pinderfields Hospital Children’s Ward – with more than £3,000 raised in 2023.
For the 2025 ‘Walk With Wakey’, the Foundation have partnered with The Wakefield Children’s Bed Appeal, with half of all funds raised supporting their valuable work within our community.
The Wakefield Children’s Bed Appeal aims to tackle bed poverty in our city, with over 6,000 children in the Wakefield District going to sleep each night without a bed to call their own.
Participants taking part are asked to raise a minimum of £20, to cover the cost of the match ticket for the Betfred Super League fixture.
The travelling party are asked to meet at the DIY Kitchens Stadium for 3.30pm before departing at 4pm ahead of beginning the 8.2-mile trek to Castleford, with an expected 7pm arrival at The Jungle.
Wakefield Trinity Head of Foundation Luke Shale said: “We’re delighted to confirm the details for Walk With Wakey 2025 ahead of our trip to Castleford Tigers in September.
“This fundraising initiative has been brilliantly supported by the Wakefield community in the past, with some incredible funds raised for charities in our local area.
“This year, the Foundation are proud to be working alongside The Wakefield Children’s Bed Appeal, whose mission is to ensure that every child in the Wakefield District has a comfortable bed to sleep in.”
