Richard Reed is proud to have been a sponsor of this fantastic event, which was held in partnership with Love Amelia and SARA. This memorable day was not only a celebration of community spirit but also a vital fundraiser for Grace House, a charity that provides essential support to children with complex disabilities and their families.

The event was packed with a variety of activities that delighted attendees of all ages. The school grounds were buzzing with local community stalls offering a range of products and services, bringing together residents and local businesses.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the Race for Grace Colour Run.
