ON SUNDAY, January 29, a Reading shop and bar saw participants lace up their running shoes in aid of charity.
The Grumpy Goat, Union Street, held a five kilometre race in aid of Reading Refugee Support Group.
Anne-Marie Beatty, manager at The Grumpy Goat, was among the organisers of the event.
She said: “We had a great response, and it’s lovely to see so many of the local groups getting involved.”
“This time we were raising funds for Reading Refugee Support Group– it’s a small, Reading-based charity which is growing.
“And we know they’re doing fantastic work helping people to settle refugee families in Reading.
“They do awesome stuff in our community.””We’re looking to it more regularly, possibly one a season, and we’ll link up with some local breweries and charities.”
“We will also be running a festival called Craft Theory, which will be taking place in July, which will also be raising funds for Reading Refugees.”
