The Bradford Ravens are taking part in the University of Bradford's first colour run in support of the student union's RAG charities, including Bradford Plastic Surgery and Burns Unit, Age U.K, SKT Welfare and Centrepoint (Bradford Area). We will be completing a 5k or 10k on the 4th March with a colourful explosion!

The Bradford Ravens would greatly appreciate your donations and support. No donation is too small.

Here's a little bit about our charities: 

The Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit (PSBRU) was founded by Professor David Sharpe following the fire disaster at the Bradford City football club in 1985. The advances the PSBRU makes in medical knowledge and clinical technique are available for use by clinicians everywhere and nearly all of the Unit's Research Fellows have gone on to practice as consultant surgeons, improving lives both in the UK and around the world.

Age U.K. work join up health and social care services so that older are enabled and supported to stay independent and well for as long as possible. They offer a telephone befriending service to tackle loneliness and isolation. The charity also carry out research into brain health to learn more about how we age and how we might tackle conditions like dementia.

SKT aims to help relieve the suffering in the world's poorest communities. They are dedicated to the delivery of humanitarian aid and solutions regardless of race, political affiliation, gender or belief. The charity has accomplished several projects in the UK, Pakistan, India, Morocco, Somalia and Palestine. 

Homeless young people, aged 16-25, stay with Centrepoint for up to two years. Centrepoint keeps supporting them for another six months to make sure they can live independently. This charity provides accommodation, health support and life skills to get them back into education, training and employment.
