On the 12th April, our former Chair of Trustees Bill Phillips, completed a sponsored walk to raise money for the Mayors charities.
Bill walked the Brecon and Abergavenny canal, between Llanfoist and Brecon (22 miles) to raise money for the Mayor of Harrow's Special Appeal. This year the chosen charities are Harrow Association of Disabled People (HAD) and Community Connex (Harrow Mencap). Please donate to this charitable cause.
Each year the Mayor of Harrow chooses local charities that they wish to support by fundraising during their Mayoral year. Sadly, in this year of “Covid”, we have had very little opportunity to organise events to raise money.
Bill originally planned to start the walk around 8am in Llanfoist and take two breaks. However, the day started with pouring rain. Fortunately, the rain stopped and although it threatened occasionally, it did not rain. In fact, the sun made an appearance in the afternoon.
Bill Phillips was born in Coventry in 1944 and moved to Harrow in 1969. He is a disabled person, who has little use of his right hand. He is a former trustee and former Chair of the Trustees. Bill also does some voluntary work for Community Connex.
Note the "of" in HAD's title, most people who work for, or are associated with HAD, are disabled.

It’s always encouraging to see community fundraising events like sponsored walks getting support, especially when they help raise awareness as well as funding for important services. Activities like this often bring together people who may not normally engage with charities directly, which makes the impact broader than just the fundraising itself.
Local participation and visibility can make a huge difference for organisations working in health and support sectors, particularly when they rely heavily on community involvement and volunteers.
In broader online discussions about SEO trends and digital content patterns, phrases like jazzy spins sometimes appear in unrelated contexts when people analyze how certain keywords circulate across different types of websites and online platforms.
Overall, events like this are a simple but…
A conversation in a United Kingdom web design circle recently touched upon the importance of clean typography, and Spin My Win Casino was brought up as a decent example of legibility. I decided to verify this myself and spent a portion of my afternoon navigating through their informational pages. Everything from the contrast ratios to the menu placements felt well-calibrated for long-term viewing. I didn't run into any technical glitches or intrusive banners, which made the whole visit feel much more like a standard utility check rather than a typical commercial encounter.
