Despite unexpected heavy showers, about 50 people attended the Pilgrimage Stroll Against Poverty on 16 October. Organised as part of the
UN International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Tish Mason of the Surrey Heath Coalistion Against Poverty arranged a group visit to the pauper burial areas of the cemetery on Saturday 16 October. The group visited part of the pauper burial sections before moving on to the
Cemetery Chapel for short service to remember those who live and die in poverty across the world. The
Brookwood Cemetery Society supported the event by providing refreshments before and after the walk, and having its sales and information stand open. After the walk, participants were invited to a Creative Workshop for families at the
Frimhurst Family House, Guildford Road, Frimley Green.
