There was a good turnout for this year’s ‘Together we walk’ 5K event organised by Women’s Aid Armagh Down on Sunday morning in Craigavon.

Participants enjoyed bright spring weather as they set off from South Lake Leisure Centre.

The walk was organised to raise awareness and to support the campaign of ending violence against women and girls.

It followed a similar event by the charity on Saturday in Newry.

Photographer Tony Hendron caught up with some of those who took part.
