I'm running the Wilmlsow half again this year, and not just for fun. I've decided to raise funds for a great charity that my wife already supports. Here's a little bit more about Bare Necessities:

Hello, thank you for joining us in the Wilmslow Running Festival 2025 and this year we are proud to say that we are the event’s chosen charity partner .

Together we can help run hygiene poverty into the ground.

We are Bare Necessities Toiletry Bank, just like a food bank but only for toiletries and hygiene stuff. We help local people keep clean when they can’t afford the everyday essentials we all take for granted; it’s things like tooth paste, shampoo, deodorant and shower gel. Hygiene poverty is really shaming & humiliating, it makes everyday life an ordeal.

We’re not ok with that, we say we’re here because no-one should have to choose between eating and keeping clean. Together we make a difference …
