Brid Beach Walk & Finds

Beach Walks & Finds – Bridlington If anyone’s interested, I’m starting a relaxed beach walk group in Bridlington.

Over the past few months I’ve really enjoyed getting down to the beach — just picking up the odd interesting stone or a nice piece of sea glass here and there — and it’s done wonders for my mental health.

The idea is simple: a gentle stroll, good company, and enjoying the coastline together. You’re welcome to bring a small bag or bucket if you fancy collecting, and families are more than welcome too.

Starting Saturday 21st March Promenade opposite The Expanse Hotel 10am – 11am

No pressure at all — just fresh air, friendly faces, and a wander by the sea.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d love you to come along

Heart Screening

Wednesday 25th March at Bridlington Rugby Club - appointment booking details will follow in the coming weeks.

 

We are pleased to say we have received a donation from The Lord Feoffees which will help to pay for this day, along with donations from Skipton Building Society Bridlington branch, easyfundraising.org.uk donations and various other donations and fundraising. Once again thank you to everyone who supports us so we are able to continue our screening days ❤️❤️

Andy's Wing Walking Challenge

A message from Andy, a Yorkshire Air Ambulance Fundraiser from Bridlington:

"In the past few years my Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity Challenges have been taking a dip in the North Sea on Christmas Day morning, as well as throwing myself out of an aeroplane at 10,000ft.

"This year I’m planning to do a Wing Walk, at RAF Church Fenton on Friday 12th June 2026. Spectators are more than welcome on the day, but if you can’t get there I would warmly welcome your sponsorship and encouragement for this my latest endeavour, (weather permitting)."

 

You can Sponsor Andy by donating on his Just Giving page
