Crew commander James Cox said: “We have teamed up with local companies who have kindly supported us by giving us a venue to stop at on the 7km walk or by having donation boxes in their stores.

“These stores are the Urban Sanctuary, The Bay Tree, Izzy’s Party Shop, The Stand Up Inn, Orange Square and the fire station.

People can also donate and read the full story on the Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/b4belfieselfie.

“The other supporters giving us venues to stop and collect money in buckets are Sainsbury’s, the United Reform Church and The Orchards shopping centre.”
