To mark this milestone, on Sunday 22nd May this year we’re holding a very special event, and we’d love you to join us.
Touch is inviting our community to #WalkWithUs along a 7-mile loop through the streets of Southampton, with creative actions, reflections and new friends along the way. The day is a chance to celebrate our stories, raise money so that we can continue to offer Touch events for free – and most importantly, have a lot of fun! You can find out more and book here: https://www.universe.com/events/walk-with-us-tickets-keynsham-S8VRB6?ref=universe-discover By booking to come along you aren't committing to join us for the whole day - only as much of it as you want, or can manage. We'll be releasing more details about the route very soon. Hoping to see you there,  A quick reminder follow-up on our Open Day.
