Bumper Community Fundraising Weekend!
What a fabulous fundraising weekend the Impact project has had…the Youth organised a Football fundraiser and Sam Archer (one of our student interns) ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon!
Sam ran his first ever marathon for Impact, and not just any old marathon, but a brand new one that took in incredible hill ascents north of Leeds, including the formidable Otley Chevin that climbs to 282m above sea level! Huge congratulations and thanks to Sam for this momentous achievement and in raising over £1,000 for our building project. We just hope the blisters and bruises heal soon Sam!
A big thank you also to the Youth Team for organising the Football fundraiser at Burnholme Sports Centre, including kids, youth and adults who played in age groups throughout last Saturday morning. Hugely competitive but fun times were had by all, complemented by bacon sandwiches, cakes and drinks, and the continuous commentary from our wannabe football pundits! Thank you very much to all who took part, volunteered, baked and supported the event, which raised over £250.
