Charity takes best foot forward to help raise much needed funds
It was a day to put in the laps, get some exercise and have fun helping raising funds for charity.
Members of the community joined the Rotary Club of Wolverhampton at the Best Foot Forward event at Aldersley Stadium, on Saturday, June 29.
The unique fund-raising event dates back to 2013, when Wolverhampton Council, Express & Star and the James Beattie Charitable Trust listened to an outline from the Rotary Club of a new concept in fund-raising and gave it their backing.
Each year, Best Foot Forward supports three nominated charities and they split a “Charity Pot” of about £12,000 which, this year, will be in excess of £10,000.
This is released for the charities by supporters running or walking laps of the stadium, with each recorded lap releasing £1 from the Pot for the charities.
