Nobody has ever decided exactly how many people it takes to change a lightbulb. However, on the morning of Sunday 12 September 2010, local people are being invited to find out exactly how many people it takes to completely circle The Mall Luton, holding hands.
This spectacular event has been organised by Mall Cares to support the Keech Hospice Accumulator Challenge 2010, in which local businesses are being asked to turn £50 into, well, as much money as possible to support the local charity!
The event has also been designed to promote the popular Luton in Harmony campaign which is capturing the hearts of local residents.
The Mall Luton is looking for community groups, clubs, schools and associations to get involved by encouraging local people to take part. Not only does it hope to bring local people together, The Mall is hoping to take aerial photographs of the event, and may even manage to get into the record books! However the main aim of Hands around The Mall is to raise much needed funds for Keech Hospice Care, so all participants will be asked to make a small donation - all of which will go directly to the charity.
"This is an extremely exciting event," explains Brian McFarland, General Manager, of The Mall Luton, "and we need as many local people as possible to get involved. We are convinced that this will be something that will be remembered for years to come, and hopefully the money we raise for Keech Hospice will make a difference for this extremely worthwhile charity."
If you are involved in a local business, organisation or club, or would like more information so you and your family can take part in Hands around The Mall, please send an email with your contact details to lavinia.holland@themall.co.uk.
