This October, I’m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for a brilliant local charity, Loughborough Junction Action Group (LJAG). Since moving to the area earlier this year, I have seen first hand the amazing work LJAG does to bring our community together - from transforming public spaces to running creative and social projects that make a real difference. I'm aiming to raise at least £350, and every donation, big or small, will go directly towards supporting their work in our neighbourhood. If you can, please help me reach my goal - and cheer me on as I take on 13.1 miles for a cause close to home!

The Loughborough Junction Action Group (LJAG) is a volunteer-led charity dedicated to improving the lives of those who live and work in Loughborough Junction. Through innovative projects, strong partnerships, and community-focused initiatives, they create opportunities for connection, learning, and growth. Their mission is simple: to make Loughborough Junction a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable place for everyone.
