WITH the start of 2015, many people will be making their New Year resolutions and planning to make a difference, either for themselves or for others. Whatever the reason – be it getting fit, participating in a sporting event, signing-up for a once-in-a-lifetime challenge, or supporting one of our national campaigns – National Doughnut Week or Humphrey’s Pyjama Week - The Children’s Trust would love to hear from you.
The Children’s Trust is the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury, helping them to make the best recovery possible after a serious accident or illness.
The Children’s Trust has lots of fundraising activities taking place during the year. We have places available in many famous running events –including half and full marathons - and would love to hear from runners who would like to run for us in the Great North Run, the Great South Run, Brighton Marathon, other regional runs or the Virgin Money London Marathon.
For those of you who are enthusiastic about taking on a special challenge, an 18-day Everest Base Camp Trek should tick the box! Alternatively, if you are looking for a special event that will appeal to supercar enthusiasts and offer lots of entertainment for all the family, then The Supercar Event, held at Dunsfold Park – home of the famous Top Gear track - on June 20 and 21 is an event not to be missed.

With very best wishes for a happy and fulfilling New Year.
