The Firewalk, held on 14th November 2025, brought together brave walkers, charity teams, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters from across the region. The Publicity Evening was an opportunity to celebrate the outstanding total raised and the powerful community spirit behind it.

Anna Mace for Rotary Priory Satellite said:

"This Firewalk has shown what happens when a community unites behind its charities. Every participant and supporter helped raise an extraordinary amount that will directly benefit organisations doing vital work across West Norfolk and beyond. We are proud to support each charity, including our £100 gift to acknowledge their commitment and contribution."

A Special Thank You to Supporters and Sponsors

Rotary Priory Satellite extends heartfelt thanks to KL1 Radio for their enthusiastic promotion and ongoing community support.

Sincere appreciation is also given to the many local businesses and event sponsors whose generosity, services, and contributions ensured the event’s success. Their support helped create a safe, uplifting, and memorable experience for everyone taking part.

Planning is already underway for the next Rotary Priory event, the Rotary Swimarathon on the 7th February 2026, and the group continues its mission to foster connection, enjoyment and meaningful impact.
