Great Birmingham Run Success! Huge Thanks to Our Amazing Runners!

On Sunday, May 5th, a fantastic team of staff, volunteers, and even a youth club member from Fox Hollies Forum laced up their running shoes and took on the challenge of the Great Birmingham Run!

We’re incredibly proud of each and every one of them for taking part and raising vital funds to support our work here at the Forum. Their dedication and commitment will directly benefit the children and young people we serve. A big shout-out goes to Jake, Stacey, Izzy and Kynton, who all crossed the finish line with tremendous smiles. Whether they were seasoned runners or complete beginners, their participation makes a huge difference.

Thanks also go to everyone who sponsored our runners. Your generosity means we can continue to provide vital services and activities for our community.

If you missed the chance to sponsor our runners but would still like to donate, you can still donate via: https://gofund.me/3c59896c

We’re already looking forward to the next Great Birmingham Run!

To help raise vital funds to our youth work project, Youth Project Acocks Green, we’re looking for volunteers to run the Great Birmingham Run, either 10K or Half-marathon distances this May.

Over the past few years the Great Birmingham Run has been a staple in our fundraising efforts with staff, volunteers and parents all taking part to raise money for our work. This year is no different and we’re looking at having our biggest turn-out ever of runners.

Simply sign-up to the Great Birmingham Run through the Great Run website (link here: https://www.greatrun.org/) and register for your required distance. Keep the confirmation email for future reference. We’ll be supporting all those who undertake the challenge with regular social runs, fundraising support and on the day support through.

Once you’ve registered, drop us an email to let us know so we can add you to our support network. Don’t forget to tag us in anything online or on social media also.

We’ll also be organising an introduction session via Zoom for everyone signed up to help kick start training and fundraising.

Once the run is completed and you’ve raised over the minimum amounts listed above, we’ll refund you your entry fee.
