Promenade walk and run helps Morecambe group celebrate 10th anniversary

Kerry Simpson, Elspeth Roberts and Michelle Kay at the Wise Up Workshops walk and run

A Morecambe creative arts and performance group has celebrated its 10th birthday in style with a sponsored walk and run on the Promenade.

The walk and run for Wise Up Workshops, held on Saturday March 25, has raised around £650 at time of writing.

WISE UP Workshops CIC is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company based in Morecambe.

Since 2013 they have been supporting local people of all ages and all abilities through an inclusive range of creative activities to promote health and wellbeing, and to build resilience and self-confidence.

Elspeth Roberts from Wise Up said: "Thank you to everyone who took part and sponsored everyone in our sponsored run/walk on March 25, everyone did so well.

"The weather turned out lovely and the walkers and runners worked really hard raising money for our organisation.

"The funds will help us to continue the workshops we deliver supporting people to build confidence and life skills through creative arts and performance."

Elspeth also thanked the Lancaster Runners including Billy Gardner (pictured below), who has offered to donate his medal for running the London Marathon next month to the person who can guess the time he takes to complete it.

It costs £1 a guess with all proceeds going to Wise Up Workshops.
