Saffery Rotary Walk

The Saffery Rotary Walk is one of the island's largest charity fundraising events and has supported dozens of charitable causes.  Local firm Saffery took over the sponsorship of this community event in 2014 for a significant minimum commitment of three years. 

The route, which is an epic 39 miles, follows the coast around Guernsey from St Peter Port, along the south coast, towards the west and north and then back round to St Peter Port.
