Congratulations to 7 wonderful people who recently raised £1600 for local good causes. 🥳
Their original target of £650 was blown out of the water!
Well done to Conor, Ben, Clio, Carmen, Laurynus and Fr. Franisek; you may recognise some of these names from SPARK activities and events.
The team ran the Leeds Marathon as part of a relay to raise money for the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in Bradford, Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal in Leeds and Little Sisters of the Poor in Leeds who are building a new care home for the elderly in Headingley. The Friars run a soup kitchen 3 times a week in Bradford, and the Sisters run a food pantry throughout the week from their convent in East Leeds. All the money raised went to support the great support and care offered to these local communities,
We would like to add our admiration to the team, alongside all the congratulations on their JustGiving page; all donations have been very gratefully received and will be well spent.

The other half of the money we raise will go towards The Little Sisters of the Poor, who used to have a care home in Headingley which sadly had to close in 2023 due to the discovery of unsafe RAAC concrete, and unfortunately all the residents had to be moved out. The Sisters provide phenomenal care to the elderly and the money we donate to them will go towards helping them build a new care home in Headingley!
