The MP for Esher and Walton has walked bare-foot over hot coals, in aid of the Mayor of Kingston’s Charitable Trust.

Monica Harding joined more than 80 firewalkers at Painshill Park, to raise money for Home-start Elmbridge.

Home-Start is a voluntary organisation supporting families facing challenges such as illness, poverty, isolation, and domestic abuse.

So far, the event has raised over £22,000 for the Trust, and Monica says walking on coals that can reach 800 degrees was worth it.
