Simon's Heroes Simon's Heroes is a charity based in Tamworth which raises money for children in need. A total of 17 members signed up to participate and help raise some cash.

Simon’s Heroes was founded in 2013 after old friends reunited to honour the memory of their friend by holding a charity football tournament. Under the expert guidance of personal trainer Simon McNeilly and Mark Bennett, the group started a programme of weekly sessions to get fit for the event. After the tournament was over, they decided to continue their form of extreme outdoor training and event participation to help raise money for local children in need. Simon’s Heroes first beneficiary was five-year-old Charlie Blunt, who had cerebral atrophy, a degenerative condition which affected his balance and muscle movement. The group decided to take part in The Winter WOLF Run in November 2013 – a 10K outdoor obstacle course around Stanford Hall in Leicestershire. Funds raised were used to support Charlie on his journey through life. Today Simon’s Heroes has over 40 members who are all dedicated to the cause. The charity has raised £1000's from sponsored events but also generates revenue through other mediums such as hosting quiz nights, fun days, galas and corporate sponsorship. This money is used to enhance the lives of children with life limiting illnesses. To date, this has included the purchase of medical equipment for example, a motorised wheelchair for a teenager with Cerebral Palsy, a custom made equestrian body protector for a kidney transplant patient, which has allowed her to continue her lifelong hobby which had become uncomfortable due to the dialysis tube in her stomach, respite breaks for a number of families who spend a lot of time supporting their children in hospital and at home and home improvements for those who have little time for anything else outside of caring. The charity has also helped make dreams come true, funding treats and experiences for children and their families coping with debilitating illness.

💙 A Huge Thank You to Co-op Church Street, Tamworth! 💙

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the team and customers at Co-op Church Street, Tamworth, who have made an incredible donation of £559.35 to Simon's Heroes through their popular Donate & Buy Book Sale.

Although the store has sadly now closed its doors, the team kept the book sale running right up until their final day of trading, showing their continued commitment to supporting local charities and the families we help.

Over the years, the book sale alone has raised an amazing £2,500+ for Simon's Heroes, making a real difference to the children and families we support.

Their support has gone far beyond fundraising too. Co-op Church Street has kindly helped us in many other ways over the years, including: ☕ Donating supplies for our tea and coffee stall at our running events 🎄 Supporting Christmas Jumper Days 💌 Making donations instead of sending Christmas cards

We are incredibly grateful for everything the store team and customers have done for Simon's Heroes. Their generosity, kindness and community spirit have made a lasting impact.

We would like to wish all of the staff the very best for the future and whatever comes next. Thank you for your years of support and kindness, you will be greatly missed by the local community.

💙 Thank you, Co-op Church Street Tamworth, from everyone at Simon's Heroes. 💙
