We are thrilled to announce the third annual WAT a Run event, taking place on Saturday, 17th May, and Sunday, 18th May 2025. Over the past two years, this incredible event has united our community and raised over 拢20,000 to support our transformative 'Bed & Breakfast' campaign. This year, we're aiming even higher鈥攚ith a target of 拢50,000!
The 'Bed & Breakfast' campaign is central to our mission: ensuring every young person in our schools has a bed to sleep in and breakfast to start their day. With your support, we can make this goal a reality and continue to tackle bed poverty in our communities.
Highlights from 2023 and 2024:
- 2023: Over 40 runners raised 拢10,000, kicking off this impactful journey.
- 2024: Participation doubled with 80 runners raising 拢20,000, including a new community fun run at Kingswinford Academy.
Check out the two inspiring films below that capture the spirit of both years' events, and read the blogs from 2023 and 2024 for more stories and reflections.
