Haigh Woodland Park's annual Memory Walk in aid of the Alzheimer's Society

Be Well Wigan hosted its Memory Walk at Haigh Woodland Park, with fund-raisers joining in the annual event to trek for a world without dementia and raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.

People braved the wet weather to take on one of two walks – a pleasant 5km (3.1 mile) stroll or a shorter accessible route (approximately 20 mins) suitable for all abilities, including wheelchair users.

There was also a fun orienteering challenge for children and “forget-me-not” face-painting, plus branded Alzheimer’s Society clothing and accessories to buy.

It was the second memory walk to take place this year, following a Pennington Flash event.
