WALKERS who stepped out for a good cause raised £75 for a children's charity.

Auckland Amblers collected money for Save The Children during a special two-mile walk last Thursday.

Members decided to raise money for the charity to thank Asda supermarket in Bishop Auckland, for providing free parking for its members who meet there every fortnight.

The charity has been nominated by the store as its annual good cause.

The amblers group, which is supported by Age Concern, is part of the Wear Walking for Health initiative which holds guided health walks across the district.
