We'd like to give a huge thank you to Chesterfield FC Coach Gary Roberts, who has stepped in to run the London Marathon for us for a third year! 🏃
Due to an unexpected drop-out, Gary joined our runners a bit later than others, but is raring to go to support our charity! ✨
Every £1 raised goes a long way to supporting adults, children and families.
Can you support Gary's run through London?

We were pleased to be invited to the recent Celebrating Neurodiversity event, which we attended on Friday alongside ACE Popcorn.
It was incredibly moving to hear stories on how we can be more neuro-inclusive across services and beyond, and how we can do our part to support people in our communities.
Thank you to the University of Derby for hosting us, alongside our colleagues at Nottinghamshire Police, Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and everyone else in attendance.
