WALKERS from all communities across the Bradford district are being urged to sign up for a “Hike and Barbecue” in support of the city’s Poverty Alleviation Scholarships (PAS) Foundation, which aims to help reduce abject poverty in developing countries.

The walk will start at the Ribblehead Viaduct, in the Yorkshire Dales, and end at Whernside, the highest of the Dales' Three Peaks, where hikers will be rewarded with a “mouth-watering” barbecue, prepared by award-winning chef Aurangzeb Khan, from the Kabana restaurant, in Huddersfield.

The event, the first of its kind organised by the PAS Foundation, takes place on Sunday, April 28, starting at 9am with the barbecue at 1pm.

Tickets costing £11.25 per person are available from event organiser Asif Khan on 07800 864780 or e-mail: asifkhan77@hotmail.com.

The PAS Foundation charity was set up and supported by the Bradford-based QED Foundation to help alleviate poverty in some of the poorest corners of the world by helping young people into work.
