Brighton Marathon image

Get fit and get running - Brighton Marathon in aid of Impact Initiatives. We have been successful in booking places for the Brighton marathon and we currently have three takers of Anne Parkinson (trustee), Ben (Marie from finance’s son-in-law) and Miles Clark (Tania, the Finance Director’s husband). But we still have 8 places to fill. We need more people to take up places so if you are feeling fit or
know someone who looks fit! contact Rachel Nahum on rachel.nahum@impact-initiatives.org.uk

Also you can look on the website

Whilst completing 26 miles is a huge personal achievement, we also want to raise much-needed funds for Impact. It has cost £75
for each runner to enter (which Impact will pay) but we are asking runners to raise at least £500.
In return we will be able to help with a fundraising campaign and with a training schedule. If you would like to take on ‘one of life’s great challenges’ please let me know by Tuesday 1st September, after this date we will look outside the organisation.

Bridge the Gap

"In 1978 IMPACT’s original vision was to: 'Bridge the Gap'. That is to provide services for hard to reach, excluded communities and individuals across Sussex, to ensure access to services and support where there is clearly identified need. We continue to maintain this vision and I am continually inspired to see the range and quality of our services, the dedication of our staff and volunteers and the number of people we are able to help"
