JERICHO’s Baton Bearers
The 2022 Queen’s Baton Relay started in London on 7th October 2021 and it travelled across the Commonwealth visiting 72 nations and territories on a route spanning 2,500 miles.
The final week saw the baton in the West Midlands, and thanks to nominations from GL Events, three of our beneficiaries were lucky enough to be part of it.

“I think carrying the Queen’s Baton made me feel really proud as I was able to represent the autism Commonwealth community and the disabled community. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be involved.”
Eathan Robinson

“When I heard about being a Batonbearer I was happy as I do have a connection with sport, and I’m always up for trying things. I think the Queen’s Baton Relay has been an interesting opportunity and of course, an enjoyable experience!”

“I am proud to be involved as a Batonbearer in the Queen’s Baton Relay. It is an event to bring people together when that hasn’t been possible for such a long time due to the pandemic. I am honoured to have carried the Queen’s Baton and this is something that I will remember for a very long time!”
