Tom to walk an incredible 630 miles for Child Action Northwest A Rossendale man is walking an incredible 630 miles to raise funds for Child Action Northwest. Tom Keir will be trekking along the ‘South West Coast Path’ – a National Trail that runs from Minehead in Somerset and along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall. The walk will finish at Poole Harbour in Dorset. And he is doing all whilst carrying all his belongings and tent on his back! Tom said: “This walk will be a growing experience alongside an opportunity for me to challenge my own mental and physical health. “On reflection of my own childhood struggles, I realised how important a safe space is for children and adolescents to talk and be supported. Growing up I found it difficult to discuss my childhood struggles, maybe due to a lack of local accessible support, stigma, or the potential damage to future career opportunities.
