Approximately 100 walkers enjoyed glorious autumn sunshine on Sunday 2 November as they raised an impressive £470.57 for BBC Children in Need at the annual River Ribble Ramble.
Families, friends and keen walkers tackled the scenic four-mile route from Lytham Windmill to Granny’s Bay and back, with smiles and community spirit lighting up the coast. Organised by Fylde Council’s Ranger Service, the popular charity walk, now in its sixth year, was led by its co-founders Councillor Tommy Threlfall, Fylde Council’s Lead Member for Environment, and BBC Radio Lancashire presenter Graham Liver, who were joined by Mayor of Fylde, Councillor Frank Andrews.
Fylde Council’s own James from the Waste team brought extra magic to proceedings by donning a fantastic Pudsey Bear costume that delighted walkers young and old. The funds raised will support disadvantaged children and young people through BBC Children in Need’s vital programmes.
Councillor Tommy Threlfall said: “Graham and I started the River Ribble Ramble six years ago, and it’s wonderful to see it going from strength to strength. Events like this give real hope to our community, bringing people together for such an important cause. I want to thank everyone who came along and made it such a memorable day.”
Fylde Council would like to thank everyone who laced up their walking boots and contributed to making the 2025 River Ribble Ramble such a tremendous success for another year.
