HOPE is a charity in Nottingham which operates 14 foodbanks across the city, as well as running two community centres providing free meals, toddler groups, citizens advice, job searching, a community allotment and many other classes helping those in need.

As Nottingham is a place that those of us in the run club work, study and call home, we decided to try and do something to give back to our local communities. That is why we have set ourselves a running challenge in May this year, where each of us will be completing as many laps of a 5km route as possible within 7 hours.

We would be very grateful towards anyone wanting to make a donation, and have two ways this can be done. First is an upfront donation here on the JustGiving page. Or perhaps if you know someone running, you can sponsor that particular runner, donating a set amount per loop completed (e.g., you pledge to donate £5 per loop for a runner, and they complete 6 loops, you will donate £30 after the run is complete).

If you are wanting to sponsor a specific runner in our group, please contact them with your pledged amounts, or instead please email thomas.girerd1@nottingham.ac.uk or negar.gilani@nottingham.ac.uk with the amount you pledge per lap and your runner’s name.

All the best,

AMB Running Club.
