Charity Fundraising Night!

About Charity Fundraising Night!

Join us for a night of music and dancing, put on by local residents Claire Soden and David Thwaites, in aid of Anthony Nolan and Coach Core! 

In April '26, David Thwaites is running the London Marthon for Coach Core, and Claire Soden is running the London Half Marathon for Anthony Nolan. 

Coach Core delivers an inclusive and impactful sports coaching apprenticeship that develops the talents of young people and provides them with a range of vital skills for sport, work and life. They target 16-24 year olds who traditionally may experience barriers, discrimination, and lack of opportunities.

Anthony Nolan is a charity that saves lives by matching donors of blood stem cells or bone marrow with people who have blood cancer or blood disorders. It recruits donors and funds groundbreaking research to find cures and improve treatments for those with blood cancers and other related diseases. 

We're putting this event on to support our fundraising targets for the Marahton and Half Marathon. We hope that you can join us in our efforts, and have a brilliant evening whilst you're at it!
