Light Up Allesley at This Special Family Charity Glow Walk!

Families across Coventry and Allesley are invited to join a wonderful community evening at the Children's Fun Glow Walk, raising money for BBC Children in Need.

This special event began with a lovely idea from eight-year-old Amelia, who wanted to bring her local community together, encourage families to get outside and have fun, and raise money for a fantastic cause. With the help of her mum, Amelia's idea is being brought to life, and everyone is invited to be part of it!

Starting at Jaguar Social Club Car Park, the illuminated family walk will make its way to Allesley Primary School on Cameron Close before heading back to the starting point.

Whether you come with little ones, teenagers, friends, grandparents or your four-legged family members, everyone is welcome. It's a lovely opportunity to meet other local families, enjoy an evening outdoors and show your support for BBC Children in Need.

Best of all, free glow sticks will be provided, so everyone can get involved and help make Allesley GLOW!
