Make a difference together
This year, the Bollington Fun Run will be fundraising to help families in Ukraine who have been hit by the humanitarian crisis caused by war.
In Ukraine, 6 million people have had to flee their homes and need our continued support. These families, who have gone through so much, are now threatened by a freezing winter without means of heating or cooking food.
Together, we can make a difference. Join us at the Bollington Fun Run and start fundraising today to help Ukrainian families cook and stay warm this winter.
