Absafe, the leading charity in the North-East of Scotland focused on health and safety education, is thrilled to announce a significant fundraising effort by two passionate individuals, Stuart and Libby. The dynamic duo will be participating in the challenging Mull Half Marathon on the Isle of Mull, taking place on the 22nd of July 2023, to raise funds for a St Peter’s RC School trip to Absafe.
Stuart and Libby's mission is to secure £500 in donations to facilitate a visit to the Absafe Community Hub for a class from St. Peter's RC School. The funds raised from this charity run will have a direct impact on the lives of up to 38 children from St. Peter's RC School. By reaching their target of £500, Stuart and Libby will enable these young learners to participate in a transformative experience at Absafe, where they will learn vital life-saving skills that can serve them well into adulthood.
Absafe is committed to educating children about the significance of safety, empowering them with knowledge that can prevent accidents and safeguard lives. Their goal is to equip individuals, particularly children, with life-saving knowledge and skills to reduce accidents and fatalities. Unfortunately, due to recent funding changes by Aberdeen City Council, some schools, including St. Peter's RC School, are now required to finance their visits to Absafe.
Libby, who is taking on her first half marathon, has expressed her heartfelt commitment to this cause, stating, "I believe in the power of education and the potential it has to save lives. It might be my first half marathon, and possibly my last, but the opportunity to impact young lives and contribute to their safety is truly an honour."
Stuart Richardson, the driving force behind this initiative, echoes Libby's sentiments, "I am thrilled to be part of this initiative that empowers children with knowledge and skills that can make a real difference in their lives. We are just a step away from reaching our goal, and I urge everyone to contribute whatever they can to support this essential cause."
