A Letter From SCIAF.
Dear Friends,
We’re delighted to be holding our second SCIAF 6k Family Fun Run in June and we expect it to be even bigger and better than last year!
Millions of people walk for hours every day in search of food and water. Others flee across continents to get to safety. Our 6k is a chance to share their journey. Entry fees and sponsorship money raised will help people in some of the poorest communities in the world to survive and thrive.
This year’s race takes place on Saturday 2nd June at Strathclyde Country Park. The run begins at 11am, but the fun starts from 10am onwards. With plenty of music, stalls and games this will be a perfect summer’s day out for the whole family.
The entry fee for young people is £5 but we’re offering free places to interested pupils and encouraging them to get sponsorship if they can. We’d love willing teachers to download the application form and promote the 6k.
We suggest a deadline for pupils to give their application forms to teachers by 22nd May so the teacher can email Teresa, our event organiser, with numbers (tmcgoldrick@sciaf.org.uk).
Teachers will then receive an email confirming the number of registrations and a document with more details about the race day. Application forms can be posted or scanned and emailed to Teresa.
Any sponsorship could be collected and sent in after the event. Full details about our 6k can be found on our website.
We are, as always, very grateful for your support all year round and we look forward to seeing you at Strathclyde Park if you’re able to join us.
Elaine McGinlay and Mark Booker
Schools and Education Officers
