Margaret Johnston, of Bolton Meeting, is undertaking the challenge of a lifetime – a 500 mile sponsored walk across Britain, closely following the journey of John Woolman in 1772, raising funds for Quaker work in South Asia and for one of the Quaker partners, Ekta Parishad.

In 1772, John Woolman travelled on foot from one Quaker meeting in England to another, walking about 500 miles in total, sharing his vision of a world governed by compassion and justice. Click here to read what John Woolman had to say about his visit to England.

Margaret will arrive in Sheffield, from Chesterfield, on Friday May 27th, have a rest on Saturday 28th, and continue on to Barnsley on the 29th. We hope that there will be an opportunity some time over the weekend for Margaret to share with us.
