Running 26.2 miles is impressive on its own, but choosing to do it in support of opportunities for our young people means a lot to us. 💛

We’re really grateful to have you as part of the NUC team. Well done, and thank you for making a real difference. 👏 👏

A huge thank you to everyone who donated today!

We’re so grateful to everyone who supported our crowdfund and popped some coins in the bucket during our Tesco bag pack.

All together, we raised an amazing total of £577.77! £88 from the crowdfund and £489.77 from Tesco bucket donations!

Every single penny makes such a difference and helps keep opportunities like this going for our young people.

A massive thank you to Tesco for having us, and to all the young people and parents who gave up their time to help out, you were absolutely brilliant.

Such a team effort and something to be really proud of.

Well done everyone 💛✨🎭
