2020 Fun Run Beneficiaries announced
Main beneficiary this year is Sawston Village College
Sawston Village College
Minibus Appeal, Cambridge Aid and Sawston Sports Centre swimming pool hoist
have been chosen as the main beneficiaries of the 2020 Sawston Fun Run event,
which takes place on Sunday 3rd May.
Jonathan Russell, Principal of SVC, said he is
delighted that the Sawston Fun Run will be raising funds to support the
purchase of a new minibus. In the 90th year of the College, it is fitting that
the community will come together to benefit the current and next generation of
Sawston pupils. Education is far broader than academic success and the new
minibus will ensure young people have access to a diverse range of
opportunities including sports fixtures, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, careers
events, inter-school competitions, STEM activities and inspiring Arts trips.
Sawston Sports Centre are extremely pleased that they will also benefit from the 2020 event. The new hoist for the swimming pool will be suitable for both adults and children to use, ensuring that access is made available to all.
In addition this year’s
funds will also go to support the following groups and charities in Sawston and
the surrounding villages:
Sawston Nursery: Improvements to garden area.
Stapleford Primary School: Outdoor ‘Arbour’
seating den.
Duxford Youth Club: Renew and add to existing
