Hadrian’s Wall Sponsored Walk

Four members of the lodge completed a 42mile walk over two days, in aid of Minerva. A local charity based in Hexham. The walk raised £1,502. Special thanks to all generously donated to this worthy cause.

The Minerva Centre supports adults with learning difficulties, helping them gain life skills, confidence, and independence through creativity.
Students develop artistic and textile skills such as silk-screen printing and tie-dye, while also building literacy, numeracy, and business abilities.
Their work is sold at craft fairs and markets, giving them pride, purpose, and real-world experience.
Courses are tailored to individual strengths, encouraging self-expression and personal growth.
Minerva creates a supportive, inclusive environment where achievement and individuality can flourish.
