PARTICIPANTS are being sought for an incredible trek across the Sahara Desert in a fundraiser for a hospice charity. Weldmar Hospicecare has opened the applications for its annual overseas challenge for 2022 - a trek across the Sahara Desert. The charity, which provides specialist end of life care to people living in Dorset, has held challenges every year, besides 2020, with the first being in the Sahara in 2013, which saw 22 volunteers take part and raise a huge £45,000. Now, the challenge is returning and charity bosses are looking for volunteers to participate. Alaine Harman, from Weldmar s fundraising team, is excited for the trek to return to the Sahara Desert. She said: It’s going to be an incredible experience for anyone taking part. We’ll be trekking through beautiful scenery by day and sleeping under the stars at night. We’ll even be baking bread in the hot sand, and immersing ourselves in the local culture.

MUSIC by the Lake will return in 2022. The live music event, organised by Weldmar Hospicecare and Kingston Maurward in Dorchester, attracted thousands of visitors when it was first held in July 2019. The event was scheduled to take place again in 2020 but were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Organisers had hoped to hold the event again this year but have made the decision to hold the next Music by the Lake in 2022 instead. Alaine Harman, organiser, said: We cannot wait to bring the live music back to the glorious surroundings of Kingston Maurward next year. Plans are already underway for what will be a spectacular event that will raise vital funds for Weldmar.
