A fantastic collaborative effort from local clubs and over 100 participants helps Sports Relief in record breaking year.
Earlier this year, the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile in Dunbar saw local people running one, three or six miles in aid of Sport Relief. The money has been counted up and Dunbar Community Sport Hub with help from it's local community raised a total of £1028.69.
This year’s Sport Relief was a record breaking year with the campaign raising a total of £72.5 million. The money raised will help disadvantaged people living incredibly tough lives, across the UK and the world’s poorest communities.
Bengy Barsanti, CSH development officer said “We are delighted with the total amount of money we have raised this year. It’s brilliant to have been part of such a successful Sport Relief year and know that we are helping to make a difference to people’s lives.”
Jess Kirke, Events Manager at Comic Relief said, “We want to say a huge thank you to all of our local mile organisers. They work tirelessly to organise successful events up and down the country and we are truly grateful for all their efforts and hard work - Sport Relief wouldn’t be the event it is without them.”
