We had the pleasure of meeting Billy last year. Check out his documentary this evening at 9pm on BBC One.

The wait is almost over 👀 Dedicated over a year of my life to my @comicrelief IRONMAN challenge & was surreal watching it all back in the documentary

It’s been a cold few weeks in Worsley Woods for our Manchester group runs but loads of fun nonetheless!

We’ve supported over 180 young people facing homelessness and complex challenges this year. Now, our Christmas Campaign is raising funds for essential items to help those most in need. 🧡 #EndHomelessness #Christmas

Global tarmac network in a state of sheer panic.

Trying to persuade 4x Olympic gold medalist, captain of the open road and legend of the game Sir Mo Farah to come and rip up the ultra running scene. What challenge should we take on? What countries or continents should we attempt to cross? Let us know in the comments.

World records getting battered.

This week we had visitors from @Abianda1, who led a zine workshop for our Sisterhood session.

We explored themes such as women's health, fitness, beauty standards, and societal pressures and expectations.

Thank you to our workshop facilitators Alex and Ria.
