The Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trust is a wonderful organisation who provide care and treatment for a local population of some 718,800 people, as well as specialist services for people who live in other areas of the East Midlands. They are focused on helping people towards recovery, enabling them to live well in their community.

Their services are desperately needed but their funding is depleted; the centre relies on fundraising and community support to run some of their programmes.

After finding Utility Aid’s community work on Facebook, Helen (the activities manager) asked if we could help and of course, we couldn’t wait to offer our support.

So, we decided to make August RED August. The RED stands for Run Every Day and that’s exactly what 17 members of the Utility Aid team, across six offices nationwide will do throughout the month.

The team pledge to raise £1000 and to run a combined total of 1440 miles by the end of August.
