I am Co-Chair of the University of Worcester Social Running Club, and we as a club have chosen to run with NCW for the Worcester City 10k Run. The Social Running Club hopes that with our fundraising we can support a local school and help promote healthy social and fun running for all!

You can find more out about the amazing work NCW does below and where the fundraising will go below!

NCW is the only secondary school in the UK dedicated to supporting vision-impaired young people. We are a national, residential, non-maintained special school serving students aged 11–19 who are blind or visually impaired, with some also facing additional challenges, including hearing impairments, physical disabilities, learning difficulties, or autism.

The majority of the students’ fees are funded by their local authorities, covering education, residency, and individualised support. However, NCW relies heavily on fundraising to cover costs related to general maintenance, refurbishments, vehicles, equipment, and most extracurricular activities.

Please support NCW to raise funds to help them to continue to inspire, nurture and empower young people who are blind or vision impaired. Your support really will help make a difference.
