As the West Norfolk Academies Trust we are all going to do a Fun Run on the same day! This means we will have over 5000 people taking part!

As things begin to open up and we all try to understand and adapt to what we think the new normal is going to be like, it seems a good time to reflect on the last 18 months. 

This last year has been extremely hard for everyone. We have seen unprecedented times with Covid 19. However, thanks to organisations like the NHS and those that research diseases, we are now being offered various vaccines and treatment to reduce the chances of serious illness from the virus. When faced with illnesses such as Covid it is important that we all stay fit and healthy, and exercise is one way to do this. Exercise helps our body, our mind and our soul.

At some point in our lives we will all need to use a hospital, and this is likely to be our most local one, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in Kings Lynn. At the height of the pandemic The hospital had 220 COVID-19 inpatients in their care. We want to help support The QEH and say thank you for all they have done in the pandemic.

Any money raised this year will go to their COVID-19 fund to help support the hospital staff and patients. This year staff have mentioned how their well being and mental health has been really important to them and would appreciate some benches outside to allow them to refresh during their breaks and try to relax.
