I'm running the Chester marathon on 8th October to raise funds for a not-for-profit play and learning centre for children in Partington.

Hidden Treasure Discovery Centre

This is a really exciting new project for Partington run by Ruth and Andy Lancey. Please see their website for much more information.

The aims of the project are:

>To help thousands of children understand more about their self-worth and personal potential through creative play, stories, crafts and songs

>To provide Partington, the surrounding area and the North-West Region with a central, stable, accessible, affordable and educational resource of the highest quality

>To use all resources available to teach children three key principles:

o Everyone is valued and special

o Every child has infinite potential

o Every child has an irreplaceable role to play in their local and global community

>To use the facility to fund and host essential community resources/courses

>To increase visitors to Partington, boost local business and investment and provide jobs and training opportunities for local adults and youths
