Local primary school to host colour run for charity

Friday, 27 September 2024 11:06

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Harrogate will host the colour to raise money for Kidney Care UK.

Children from St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Harrogate are coming together to host a Colour Run, raising funds for Kidney Care UK, a charity that is especially meaningful to the local community.

The event will take place on Tuesday 1st October and aims to raise awareness and vital support for the charity.

The Colour Run is being held in honor of Mark Smith, the father of one of the school’s pupils, who recently passed away.

Mark was a dedicated local fundraiser for Kidney Care UK, and his commitment to helping others continues to inspire the school community.

Gillian Delahay, Headteacher of St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School said,

“We’re incredibly proud of our pupils and families for supporting this event and for their commitment to making a difference,”

She added,

“Mark Smith’s passion for helping others has left a lasting impact on our school, and this Colour Run is a wonderful way to honour his memory while supporting a vital cause.”

The event promises to bring the school and community together for a day filled with fun, colour, and purpose.

Kidney Care UK is the leading kidney patient support charity in the UK, offering practical, financial, and emotional support for kidney patients and their families. The charity works tirelessly to improve the quality of life for those affected by kidney disease.

If you would like to help the school raise money you can donate to their Just Giving page here.
