We are thrilled to announce that our incredible team of runners has raised over £5,000 in support of Pompey in the Community! This fantastic achievement comes just days before race day, taking place this Sunday.
The funds raised will directly support a wide range of vital community projects, including:
-
Enabling children with special educational needs to attend multi-sport sessions that promote social interaction and wellbeing (£5 per child).
-
Providing support and refreshments to individuals experiencing social isolation at our weekly Life’n’Chimes group (£10 per person).
-
Supplying ingredients for cooking sessions where young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds learn about nutrition and build confidence in the kitchen (£50 per session for 5 young adults).
-
Covering maintenance and equipment costs for Pompey Pedals, our inclusive cycling program, ensuring it can run for an entire year.
This milestone is a testament to the dedication, commitment, and community spirit of our runners and supporters. Each step they take is helping to transform lives across Portsmouth.
As the big day approaches, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated, trained, and cheered on the team. Together, we’re making a meaningful difference in our community.
Stay tuned for updates and follow the action on our social media channels.
Thank you for being part of this journey!
