RUN the first New Balance English Half Marathon for the Warrington Guardian’s charity of the year, The Relationships Centre.

People who raise more than £200 for the cause and complete the people’s challenge will have their £29 deposit returned.

The charity, which is based at the Gateway, Sankey Street, offers solutions that treat the effects but also target the causes of abuse and relationship problems.

Staff at the centre work with national organisations to influence and inform on issues such as domestic abuse, sexual violence, young runaways and care leavers.

Money raised from the event would be injected into the Life Skills Academy Appeal, which will offer a safe place and support for young people who run away.

The academy will protect children from the area and support the community.

Anyone who can donate, sponsor or volunteer should call Lucy Hindmarch on 246910 or e-mail lucy@healthyrelationships.org.uk.
