The beautiful St Patrick’s Church was built in 1853. As with all historic buildings, it needs constant love, attention and money to maintain it.

The Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team, one of the busiest voluntary search and rescue teams in England. It is an entirely voluntary organisation supported by donations. Whilst the Boundary Walk does not explicitly raise funds for the team, we would like to formally thank them for their work throughout the year, and in supporting the walk. If you would like to make a direct donation, please click here.
The Patterdale Parish Boundary Walks will take place on Saturday 2nd July 2011. This annual event is a lot of fun (and a little painful) for those taking part and raises much needed funds for St Patrick’s Church in Patterdale and the Patterdale Church of England Primary School.
This year there are 3 separate walks covering from 7 to 30 miles to encourage more people to take part. If you’d like to join one of these walks (or runs!) please contact us. Please note you must register an interest before the end of June 2011 to take part. Alternatively if you can’t participate but would like to sponsor one of the teams, please click on one of the links below.
Participants will be sent a paper sponsorship form when they register an interest. In addition this year we are also encouraging people to sponsor online via the justgiving.com website. Please click this link to visit the main Patterdale PCC Fundraising page, or click on one of the justgiving.com buttons below.
Alternatively why not sponsor some of the existing team participating in this years walk:
