On Saturday 17th May, Helen, Ali, and Melissa took part in the Norfolk Coastal Walk, raising £600 for The Feed, a community organisation dedicated to fighting food insecurity.
Arriving at Sea Palling for 9am, it was straight on to the beach with roughly 50 other keen walkers for a 17.5 journey, trekking over sand, rock, and shingle.
The walk took them up over the cliffs, around Happisburgh Lighthouse, through Keswick, and back onto the beach at Bacton, before stopping for a much needed break at Mundesley Museum.
The second leg of the journey started off promising through Mundesley village, but it was soon back down on to the sand at Trimmingham all the way to Overstrand.
Once up on to the cliffs at Overstrand, the end point was in sight, and the team made their way along the cliffs, around Cromer golf course and through the town, finally reaching the finish line at Cromer Pier at 15:45 making the total walking time 6 hours and 4 minutes – a great effort!
Shout out to team Pivotal, the crew at Arnolds Keys, and Mobilityways for all their support along the way, and huge thanks to Nade Ward and the rest of the team at The Feed for arranging the Norfolk Coastal Walk event and for keeping us fed!
But, last but not least, we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way, your donations will help The Feed continue to make massive changes in our community through the power of food.

We celebrated the GLX Christmas party in style – casino style!
It was a fantastic evening to come together as a team to celebrate another amazing year.
A huge thank you to The Earlham Arms for their incredible hospitality, festive ambiance, and wonderful spread of food.
A big thank you to the casino company 4 Aces Fun Casino who helped to provide a truly authentic experience. It was fantastic to do something so out of the ordinary with the team. It was also a pleasure to be frivolous with the fake money, but our clients need not worry, our financial responsibility remains at an all-time high!!
Congratulations to Kerry Porteous for being the big winner of the evening and raising the trophy.
What better way to wrap the year up than with great company, laughter, and fun?
