I'm running the Hackney Half to raise money for my nieces and nephews' primary school, so that they can continue to offer free after school clubs to all pupils.

It’s a brilliant and well-run school. All eight(!) of the kids have loved being there. It has a diverse intake of pupils, reflecting the community around Columbia Road. Many children speak English as a second language, and there is excellent provision for students with special educational needs.

Unfortunately, the school faces significant financial pressure this year. Alongside some parents from the school, I'm raising money to keep after-school activities - football, dance, art, Lego - free for all pupils. Any amount you can give would be a huge help. Thank you!
