3 General Information About the Charity - Charity Walk for Peace Our mission is to help society, to support charitable endeavours, to work to secure the common good, to demonstrate loyalty to country and nation, and to defend the dignity of mankind. The Charity Walk for Peace is founded in the service of humanity, rooted in the call of duty and inspired by the love of God. Drawing motivation from the tenets of Islam which regard service to humanity as a moral prerogative, a spiritual privilege and a religious duty, Charity Walk for Peace aims to relieve the suffering of the poor, the destitute and the marginalised, and to promote peace, understanding and goodwill amongst people of all walks of life.

6 General Information Becoming a Beneficiary of Grant Funds Our strategy is raise funds and donate those funds to established local, regional, national, and international charities to help the most deserving of people. Any registered charity or school can apply to be a beneficiary through our Grant Funding scheme. Our executive committee shall review the work the charity/school offers and, after a due diligence process, the charity is able to become a beneficiary of the funds collected. The process is very simple and we will keep you informed. Find out more on charitywalkforpeace.org or contact us using the details provided at the end of this presentation.

7 General Information Matched Funding We have thousands of volunteers who use various methods to collect funds. These include the traditional sponsorship forms; bucket and tin collections; charity dinners and corporate funding. We then use these funds to match, up to a pre-determined maximum amount, the funds collected by the specific charity. The matched-funding scheme is primarily focused at helping the smaller local charities to work with us and create awareness for the work we do together to help and assist the most deserving. You can contact us or complete the online form on our website.

8 General Information Charity Champions Every year, men, women, and children raise thousands of pounds for charitable causes. Amongst these great people are those that work tirelessly to raise 1000 individually, some raising as much as 15,000! To recognise such amazing achievements, we say a big THANK YOU and honour these special people with an invitation to special dinner where we shall also be presenting the new Charity Champions boxed jacket and blouse badges.

9 General Information Working With Us Everybody is Welcome!! Every year we not only help raise more but we make new friends. Last year alone over 114 charities became beneficiaries of the walk, with many attending the walk, including schools, charity organisations, church and faith groups, MP s, Mayors and Councillors. As long as we all focus on our principle objective - Our mission is to help society, to support charitable endeavours, to work to secure the common good, to demonstrate loyalty to country and nation, and to defend the dignity of mankind. We can make a great difference to those less fortunate and work together in total harmony.

11 Welcome by Runnymede Executive Mayor of Runnymede His worshipful the Mayor, Cllr Iftikhar Chaudhri. I am delighted the annual national Charity Walk for Peace is being held in Runnymede this year. The Magna Carta the Great Charter, was sealed here in Runnymede in 1215 by King John. Runnymede has a huge amount of history which I am sure the participants would be interested in greatly, as they too will be making history this year. Working with the Royal Windsor Great Park, I truly believe this walk will not only raise a huge amount for local charities but will benefit the borough and adjoining towns in so many ways. So delighted to host the Charity Walk for Peace. Chief Executive Officer Runnymede Council Paul Turrell.
