I’ll be running in the London Marathon on Sunday 21st April 2024. 😅😬🏃🏼‍♀️🏅🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏁

I’m really fortunate that I get to take part through the company I work for (Abbott) as they’re a major sponsor of all the world marathon majors, including London! You can’t miss all of the big blue or white ‘a’ logos when you watch it!

But I also want to take this opportunity to raise some money for charity, and I think this is a great way to do it so I will be supporting and raising money for the Northmoor Play Park!

Sadly, most of the play equipment in our beloved village playpark was condemned during a recent inspection, and we're now in desperate need of vital funds to make the space safe for young people to play in once again - as well as creating a community space for our rural residents and surrounding villages.

A dedicated team have been working on sourcing new playpark equipment and have redesigned the space in collaboration with equipment specialists.

We have already put on numerous, well supported events and have raised about half of the necessary funds with a huge boost from the National Lottery who have donated £18,500 to the cause. Health and Safety compliant play equipment is incredibly expensive and we are in need of just under £100,000.

We are calling on residents of Northmoor and surrounding villages, family members and the general public to support us in our quest to make The Northmoor Playpark and Community Space the wonderful hub of the village it once was.

Please consider supporting us; every penny will be gratefully received!

Forever thankful,

Kim 🏃🏼‍♀️ and The Northmoor Playpark and Community Space Committee 💛
