Scooby Doo at The Children’s Society walk

I joined cartoon stars Scooby Doo and his side-kick Shaggy in launching Islington-based charity The Children’s Society’s sponsored London Bridges Walk.

An estimated 3,000 people took part in the walk which started at Tate Modern and covered some of London’s best-known bridges, including Waterloo, Southwark and Tower Bridge.

The event raised an estimated £100,000 for the Children’s Society.

Carbon offsetting

  • The CarbonNeutral Company and Pure have calculated the carbon associated with the trek. Based on that calculation the carbon from the trek is being offset twice over. This is being done by investing in a “Futures Portfolio” with the CarbonNeutral Company, which invests in renewable energy (Gold Standard), and purchasing CO2 allowances and retiring them through the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.

Costs and time

  • I have covered all costs of the trip to ensure that all the money donated goes to charity. The trip is during the parliamentary recess (‘half term’) to ensure it does not interfere with my elected duties.
