THREE Hubb Foundation employees are appealing for kind-hearted local businesspeople and community supporters to join them when they step up to the plate and take on their first ever half-marathon challenge.
School Relationship Manager Tana Owen, Finance Manager Jo Robinson and Data and Compliance Officer Nausheen Latif have started training for the gruelling 13-mile Potters ‘Arf Marathon walking course on October 4 and are appealing for fundraising supporters to join them.
The charity which supports thousands of disadvantaged families and children across the city is calling for ten business or community representatives to make up their team of 13 walkers.
Team spokesperson Tana Owen said: “We have set a team target of raising £2,500 for our first Potters ‘Arf walk, which will enable us to support 100 vulnerable children in a city where 19,000 youngsters are classed as living in ‘absolute poverty’.
“Every school holiday we work with thousands of families to provide free holiday care and experiences and ensure children have a healthy meal each day but there is always more to do. Raising vital funds will ensure we can touch even more lives.”
Any businesses or individuals interested in being part of the Potters ‘Arf Hubb walking team can contact them at info@thehubbfoundation.org.uk or call 01782 656050.
