Events
Do you want to run, swim, row or cycle for charity this year?
Following the changes to the way events happened last year, we are adapting our fundraising efforts with events and will be offering both virtual and physical, where COVID-19 secure events can take place.
As in previous year, events make up a part of our fundraising. We know so many people took up running or an activity to support their physical and mental health during the COVID-19 lockdowns and we encourage anyone interested to take part in an event with us.
If you are interested in taking part in any of the following, get in touch with our Partnerships Manger and we can secure your place. We are asking that participants set up an Enthuse or use Pecan’s page so you can start fundraising!
If you or anyone you know is interested in taking part, please get in touch with us on:
