Colourful runners help Beacon Centre sight charity to raise vital funds
It was a morning of colour and fun for fundraisers taking on a charity park run.
More than 250 fundraisers turned out to show their support for the Beacon Centre for the Blind at the charity’s Colour Run in Wolverhampton on Sunday.
Participants were blasted with brightly coloured paint powder as they made their way around the 5K course at the city’s East Park, with everyone taking part receiving a medal as they finished.
The event was attended by the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Sandra Samuels, who started the race after thanking all those who entered.
Beacon Centre’s Income Generation Director Stella Pitt said: “We’re thrilled that so many people were able to join us for Colour Run and help raise funds to support our work.
"It was a great event and we’re delighted that everyone had such fun.
“Events like this and our Santa Run which we hold in December are so important in raising funds to support our work to help people live well with sight loss and we can’t thank people enough for their support.”
All proceeds will help support the charity’s work.
