The 25 charities that will benefit from this year's Saffery Rotary Walk have been confirmed, representing "a wide range of community-focused initiatives, including healthcare, sport, social care, arts and leisure".
This year's challenge takes place on Saturday 7 June, with hundreds of people expected to walk the 39-mile coastal route, with more taking part in shorter sections as part of relay teams.
The organisers say each of those people participating in the Walk helps to raise money to support the many vital services provided by this year’s beneficiaries.
"The Saffery Rotary Walk is a special opportunity for our island to come together in support of extraordinary causes," said Walk Chairman, Simon Milsted.
"Thanks to the immense support of our sponsors, every penny raised by walkers is available for our beneficiary charities.
“By signing up for the Walk, you’re not just taking on a personal challenge, but also contributing to a collective legacy that will benefit countless people across the Bailiwick.”

Mr Milstead said there is still time to sign up and get training to take part in the Walk itself.
“I encourage everyone to register, lace up their walking shoes, and join us on Saturday 7 June. Together we can help these charities continue their invaluable work.”
The Saffery Rotary Walk is supported by Saffery Trust, helping ensure that more of the money raised is donated directly to the good causes it supports, said Lisa Vizia, Director at Saffery Trust.
"We are proud to support the Saffery Rotary Walk, a fantastic event that showcases the generosity and spirit of our community.
“This year’s charity beneficiaries are doing incredible work, and every pound raised will go directly to their efforts.
“Signing up early not only secures your place but also gives you time to fundraise and train for what promises to be a truly rewarding day. Together, we can create real change for these deserving causes."
