Christian Community Ministries is a registered charity which looks to serve the needy in a practical caring way. At the same time we try to show the Love of Jesus Christ and to share His gospel of Repentance, Forgiveness and Reconciliation to God the Father.

IF YOU HAVE REGISTERED FOR THE WALK and not yet received an acknowledgement and your sponsor forms, please contact the office on 01606 782244 asap. We have been experiencing problems with our online registration form and some registrations have never made it through to us. We apologise for any inconvenience.

The Walk2Romania is the major fundraising event organised by CCM which takes place on the estate of Arley Hall, Cheshire. The aim of the walk is to get as many sponsored walkers together in the hope that between us all we will cover the 1,500 miles between Barnton (home of CCM in the UK) and Emanuel Children's Home in Cluj Napoca, Romania.

This year's walk takes place on:
SATURDAY 5TH JULY 2008

Registration opens at 12noon and the walk begins en masse at 1pm

There is a choice of a 10-mile or a 5-mile route. We certainly do not want to put off walkers who feel that 10 miles might be too much. For those really little legs there is a 1-mile route that takes in the delights of Stockley Farm and a tractor ride back to the marquee.

2008 will be the fifth annual Walk and over the years we have raised in excess of £40,000 which is a wonderful achievement and we give thanks to all the walkers and sponsors who have helped us raise these all important funds.

As the Walk takes place on the estate of Arley Hall, why not take opportunity to make a great family day of it. Arley Hall and the Gardens are open to the public and Stockley Farm is also on the estate giving children the chance to feed the lambs and baby goats as well as finding out much more about the animals on the farm. There are picnic benches near to the car park and marquee for the walk so why not enjoy a picnic lunch before the off!

Can't Get to Arley Hall?
You don't have to join us at Arley to be able to raise funds for CCM. If you would like to complete a sponsored walk in your area, just get in touch with us and we will send you all the information you need. You could go for a walk on your own, with your colleagues, family or friends. Why not get your school or your church involved as well.

Involve your Company
Many employers offer some sort of scheme whereby they will match your fundraising efforts. Perhaps you could persuade some of your colleagues to join you on the walk and ask your employers to double your sponsorship. Perhaps you could persuade your employers to start such a scheme!

Involve Your Church
Use the Walk as an opportunity to spend some time with others from your church. Why not all pack a picnic and come down to Arley early to enjoy fellowship with one another before the off. Try asking some non-Christian friends and family to come along too!

Involve Your Family
The Walk2Romania really is a family affair. For little legs there is a 1-mile route which begins (or ends) at Stockley Farm with a tractor ride back to the marquee after a look around the farm. Dogs are welcome on the Walk provided they are kept on leads at all times.

Involve Your School
You don't have to go to Arley Hall to raise money for CCM. You could have a sponsored walk around your school field, you could include an assault course along the way. Ask family and friends to sponsor you and raise money for Emanuel Children's Home having some great fun and exercise.
