Bishop of Manchester takes a ride on 'The Big One' for charity

The Rt Rev Dr David Walker and around 30 others took a ride on the UK's largest rollercoaster, dubbed 'The Big One' in Blackpool.

Speaking about the ride afterwards on Premier's News Hour, he said: "It's such a good cause. I've worked for the Children's Society for many years. They were a real help to me when I was a young vicar in a parish with very high deprivation, and I'm always up for a dare."

Gogglebox's Kate Bottley joined in alongside other reverends, canons and bishops from all over the country, including areas where kids had been helped by the charity.

So far they've managed to raise more than £6,000pounds for the organisation.

Bishop of Manchester, David Walker said:

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
