The group regularly receives email requests from charities. The committee has agreed that BBN should have a general group policy not to get involved with organising, promoting or entering specific charity events (as a group) because there are too many and we must say no to all to be fair to all.

The committee agreed that any donations made by BBN should reflect the activities of the group/LDWA, for example replacing stiles with kissing gates and improving bench provision, supporting Yorkshire Three Peaks remedial path works etc.  BBN has also regularly donated to the various Air Ambulances that cover our area.

It was agreed that the group would be happy to advertise any organised charity walk in our area that followed "the LDWA challenge event format” and which may be of interest to BBN members, but only if that walk does not clash with a BBN social walk or event.

The committee would also be happy to consider a request for advertising from a member taking on a charitable challenge.

The committee will keep members informed about  donations made and, the purpose, organisation and amount, and  very much welcome members' suggestions for future donations.
