Over a thousand pounds has been raised for a Leamington-based charity.

A total of £1270 was raised for Helping Hands in its first charity Wolf Run.

A mixture of staff, volunteers and six of its service users took part in the challenge, which took place on 14 September. 

All funds raised will go directly towards supporting its vital services and supporting those in need. 

Bradley, who took part in the run said: "I signed up to challenge myself, and crossing that finish line was emotional - I felt such a huge sense of achievement. 

"It reminded me that my Helping Hands family will always be there to cheer me on."

He added: "The day was such a success that we're already planning to sign up again next year - and we'd love for you to be part of it! 

"Whether you're an individual looking for a challenge or a local business wanting to make a difference, join our Wolf Pack and help us raise even more in 2026.

"Together, we can make an even bigger impact!"

Another last-minute participant and ex-service-user said: "I honestly wasn't going to do it - I told myself every excuse going: 'I can't run, I won't finish, it's not for me.' 

"But hearing the other women in the group so excited made me change my mind at the very last minute. I'm so proud I finished and that I got to be part of such a supportive team."
