MORE than 200 walkers took part in a charity walk for St Richard’s Hospice in Worcester.

The Worcestershire Way Walk was attended by 120 walkers and 90 corporate walkers from organisations such as Webbs garden centre in Wychbold, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Hewett Recruitment as part of team-building exercises.

The 31-mile walk on Friday started at 6am taking walkers between Abberley and Malvern with a lunch at the Admiral Rodney in Berrow Green, Martley.

Mark Jackson, chief executive of St Richard’s Hospice in Wildwood Drive, Worcester, said the target was to raise more than £80,000 for the hospice, beating last year’s target of £61,250.
