Upton House 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer

13/09/2024

IMPORTANT: GROUP SUSPENDED FOR NOW – SEEKING NEW AMBASSADORS 💙

The 5K Your Way group at Upton House parkrun is temporarily suspended, so there will be no new meet-ups for the time being, but we'll let you know when that changes.

We are actively seeking new ambassadors who would be interested in taking this group forwards. In particular, we need a lead ambassador who can take a key volunteer role in building this group, helping it reach the right people, liaising with local health services and promoting it.

We have 3 existing ambassadors in place who can support with this and turn up at the monthly groups, but we ideally need 5 ambassadors, including a lead ambassador.

If you're interested, please email [email protected] to find out more. We're happy to talk to you and give you more information on what's involved.

You can also find out more about 5KYW here: https://www.moveagainstcancer.org/5k-your-way/

And you can find out more about what it means to be a volunteer ambassador here: https://www.moveagainstcancer.org/volunteer/
