I’m continuing my running journey by taking part in the Blackpool Half Marathon, and this time I’m running to raise money for Community Solutions North West.

Many of you know that the past few months have been incredibly difficult for me. During that time, Community Solutions have been nothing short of incredible — offering therapy, counselling, support, and a safe space to heal.

I want to give back to them because they have played such a meaningful role in helping me move forward.

Community Solutions is a place where people are seen, valued and supported. They stand beside those experiencing loneliness, crisis, and personal challenges, because they believe no one should have to go through life alone.

“Through connection, kindness, and practical support, we help people regain confidence, rebuild relationships, and create lasting change. Together, we’re not just reducing isolation — we’re building stronger communities where everyone can thrive.”

The staff and volunteers have shown me nothing but compassion, patience, and genuine care. They have gone above and beyond in ways I will never forget 💕

If you’re able to support — whether by donating, sharing, or simply sending encouragement — it means more than I can express. Every contribution helps them continue their life-changing work.

Thank you 🩷

Sally
