I WOULD like to make an urgent appeal to running enthusiasts, who would like to take part in the Great North Run on September 13.

The Children’s Trust has a few guaranteed places left to fill but the deadline for registration is July 6, so please visit our website as soon as possible to register and secure your place at thechildrenstrust.org.uk/greatnorthrun We would also be thrilled to hear from own-place runners who would be interested in joining our team.

Visit thechildrenstrust.org.uk or call 01737 364323.
