Cornwall-based youth disability charity Active8 is marking its 35th anniversary in the most inspiring way possible – with a 35km “Walk, Wheel & Roll” challenge on Saturday, 11th October 2025, along the iconic Camel Trail.
Participants – including Active8’s young disabled members, friends, families, supporters, and members of the public – will challenge themselves to the commemorative trek from Wenford Bridge to Padstow, raising awareness and vital funds to support young people living with disabilities across Cornwall and Devon.
The event kicks off at 9:00 AM, from the Snail’s Pace Café, with the group travelling together along the wild and wonderful nature-rich trail, before arriving at Padstow around 6 - 6:30PM, where they will be welcomed with a celebration party including live music, kindly hosted by the much loved Shipwrights, on North Quay.
Active8 is calling on the local community, press, and media outlets to play a part in this milestone moment, by spreading awareness, covering the event, or just joining in and sharing the incredible, empowering spirit of the day.
“This is going to be a very amazing (and very emotional!) day full of inspiration, determination, and epic achievement” said Clare Stanley, Fundraising Coordinator at Active8. “For 35 years, Active8 has empowered young people with disabilities to live life to their full, fantastic potential. This ‘walk and roll’ challenge will be a celebration of everything our Active8 members have achieved over the last 35 years – and everything all people living with a disability can achieve! We want the whole community to come together, cheer us on, and help us mark this remarkable milestone.”
