This September I have decided to take part in the Great North Run to support a charity very important to me, MFC Foundation.

After working here from 2013-2019 I was completely inspired every single day by the programmes delivered and the direct impact these have on so many lives every single year.

Through the power of the MFC brand they engage with those hardest to reach across Tees Valley in over 25 community projects which need continuous financial support to keep engaging those in need and creating positive change throughout our local community.

With every donation your money will go directly towards, but not limited too;

- Lunches for children who’s households are experiencing economic deprivation

- Entrance fees to attend dementia dances for individuals living with dementia and their families

- Kit for participants that don’t have suitable clothing to take part in activities

- Mental health support for those battling various mental health challenges

- Targeted interventions providing positive pathways for young people at risk of committing anti-social behaviour and crime

For someone that doesn’t usually run this will be a big challenge for me but to know how many people will benefit from this, it’s something I can’t wait to complete.

Thank you for your support ❤️ UTB
