Our Causes

£100,000 Donated to Worthy Causes.

One of the important benefits of the Town Guides’ work is the money that is raised that goes towards good causes in King's Lynn.

All the money that is collected for our walks is used to further the conservation and promotion of the town. Since 1998 we have guided over 50,000 visitors on walks around King’s Lynn and donated £100,000 to worthy causes.

This is recognised in a ceremony that takes place each year in the Town Hall and has become a regular feature in the King’s Lynn calendar as each year the Guides donate the proceeds from their Town Walks to local heritage organisations.

The latest annual donations ceremony took place at King’s Lynn Town Hall on Tuesday 21st February 2023, hosted by the Borough Mayor, Cllr Lesley Bambridge and in the presence of Honorary Alderman, Dr Paul Richards.

Following another very successful year for the Guides, donations have been given to a larger number of organisations. Recipients of donations from the proceeds in recent years include: 

• King’s Lynn Minster

• True’s Yard

• King’s Lynn Preservation Trust

• All Saint’s Church

• Marriott’s Warehouse Trust

• Worfolk Boat Trust

• Friends of St Nicholas’ Chapel

• King's Lynn Civic Society

• St Faith's Church

• Shakespeare’s Guildhall Trust
