THREE friends from South Woodford are planning to hike through London in aid of a children’s charity.

Alex Osborne, Caroline Garlik and Hannah Newbery, all 25, are set to take part in the NSPCC Hike Against Cruelty to Kids (HACK) on September 17.

The three will join hundreds of other walkers on a 20-mile hike.

Ms Osbourne, of Cadogan Gardens, works for the NSPCC as a fundraiser and persuaded her friends to accompany her.

She said: “It really is such an important cause and I am happy to support the NSPCC’s fundraising efforts wherever I can.”
