A group of bpha colleagues, family and friends are taking part in the Bedford Running Festival over the weekend of the 7-8 September for Bedford Giving.

I am doing my first half-marathon.

Bedford Giving is on a mission to Give, Get and Grow a brighter future for our next generation and supports young people in Bedford. Through their message of Give, Get, Grow, they empower everyone to contribute in their own unique way – whether it's giving time, skills, or financial support - together we are stronger.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
