Enjoy Milford on Sea: The Big Walk from Hurst Castle Sailing Club

On Bank Holiday Monday, 5th May 2025, animal lovers from Milford on Sea and the surrounding areas will come together at 8.30am at Hurst Castle Sailing Club to walk and raise awareness of The Cinnamon Trust.

This local walk is part of the charity’s nationwide event called The Big Walk. The walk is for 2.5 miles (4km) with or without your dog, at your own pace and will last around an hour.

The Cinnamon Trust’s Big Walk invites animal lovers nationwide to meet up with like-minded people, learn more about the charity’s services, and help spread the word within the pet owner community. By raising awareness, the event ensures that pet owners struggling to care for their pet know support is available while also encouraging more volunteers to join and help provide that vital care.

With over 35 locations nationwide confirmed and growing, The Big Walk will be a day of fun and community spirit, all while celebrating the difference volunteers make in the lives of those who need it most.

The Trust invites everyone to join this life-changing walk, learn about the charity’s important work, and help spread the word. Share the news with colleagues, with a neighbour in need, or register as a volunteer. Every person has a part to play and can make a positive difference in someone’s life.

Mandy Llewellyn, local volunteer and Big Walk organiser, adds: “The Cinnamon Trust supports people so they can keep their treasured pets, whilst sharing the joy of their pets with people who love animals but can't have their own. The mutual gain is amazing.

I have a part-time Cinnamon dog who gets to stay with his mum; and I get the pleasure of walking him. His mum gets to keep her companion of 14 years. Through the Big Walk we can spread the word about The Trust and create more connections. We can also raise some money to support the charity to make all this happen.”

Register today and claim your free goody bag on the day of the event. Those joining the walk with their dogs will get a special 40th anniversary bandana for their furry companion.

Join the fun and be the hero who helps someone in need find the support they deserve!
