MOSAIC, the island’s annual Christian women’s conference, is this year supporting the very worthwhile work of Crossroads Care (Isle of Man). Women who attended the conference, from across the length and breadth of our island, and beyond, have given their pledge to raise money for this cause and have so far raised ?4,000 since the conference in November 2011. 

The Mosaic team who organise the conference are too playing their part and plan to raise over ?1,200 for Crossroads by taking part, with friends and family, in a charity walk.

Helen Edwards, who heads the Mosaic team, said "this is a really exciting way for us to make a difference to the lives of Carers in our communities. We came up with the idea of walking to the crossroads at Tynwald Hill from each of the four compass points representing the differing communities on our island and we have created a 5km walk from designated starting points to meet together at the crossroads”.

“It's a perfect distance for all, and is open to anyone who would like to help support this worthy cause. We are thrilled to be supporting the worthy work of Crossroads Care (Isle of Man) and the Carer community and hope this will be a great way to highlight their cause, one we may all need one day".

The walk is open to all who attended the Mosaic conference and also anyone else who would like to enjoy a family friendly walk in aid of a great local cause.

The walk will take place on Sunday 15th April 2012, with registration from 1pm for a 2pm start. Registration will take place at the four designated starting points at Fenella Beach Car Park, Peel, Marown FC Car Park, Crosby, Foxdale School Car Park or Whitestrand (parking area on Switchback Road, South of Knocksharry). Peel and Whitestand routes are also buggy friendly (off road buggies only). Registration is ?10 for an adult or ?20 for a family and will include refreshments on arrival at Tynwald Methodist Church. Alternatively, walkers can complete a sponsorship card available to download from www.livinghope.im.
