WordPress Website for Walkings Brilliant

Walking & Talking Charity Hikes, also known as Walking’s Brilliant, is a charity that supports local causes, particularly mental health services.

The charity was set up by a group of former professional footballers, many of whom had their struggles with mental health after retiring from the game. Mark Crossley, Dean Windass, Nigel Jemson, Chris Kirkland, John Parkin and Steve Howey were the founders, but numbers have increased over the years.

The charity holds regular events such as fundraising walks, golf days, sportsmen’s dinners, comedy nights and auctions to raise money for the causes they support.

Being local to us, Mark Crossley (ex-Nottingham Forest goalkeeper), approached us and asked to meet to discuss their existing website. They wanted a more professional look, aiming to become registered as a charity, and ways to advertise events on the site.

We took up the challenge and built a new WordPress website, including an events calendar, fundraising charts, tickets, event reports and more. The website is now much more professional and informative.
