Kilkenny Lions Club has announced details of a fundraising charity walk set to take place on Sunday, June 23.

The event will commence at 12.30 pm at the Square in Freshford. The scenic walk, a little over 5km, aims to raise funds for two local causes: Prague House Freshford which is a care home for elderly people from the area and The Loop Café, Freshford , a very popular community run café in Freshford.

Participants will enjoy a beautiful route that follows the right bank of the stream through a picturesque broadleaf woodland. The path leads to the entrance roadway to Upper Court Manor, continuing to Brown’s Wood and runs along the serene banks of the Nuenna River. 

This event promises to be a delightful experience for walkers of all ages and fitness levels, combining the joy of community spirit with the satisfaction of supporting worthy local causes. Children accompanied by parents are most welcome. Kilkenny Lions Club, known for its dedicated volunteer efforts and successful fundraising events, invites everyone to join this walk and contribute to the betterment of our community.

Registration will take place on the day at the Square and contributions to the charities are voluntary. If you cannot attend the walk and would like to contribute you can do so at Kilkenny Lions website http://kilkennylionsclub.ie/.
