Sponsored walkers will watch an inspirational video of two brothers with cerebral palsy, Nathan and Andrew, being lifted to the top of Stoodley Pike, Todmorden, in an Aim Higher Challenge part of the Spring Walk for Spring Hall.

Head teacher Martin Moorman, said: “We hope as many people will join us on the day and hope the sun will shine.

“Spring Walk for Spring Hall is a great opportunity for the wider Calderdale community to show their practical support for the Ravenscliffe@SpringHall project.

The last push of the Ravenscliffe@SpringHall campaign is to raise £500,000 to equip the new centre with special equipment to teach teenagers with educational needs.
