Story

Hi everyone!

I'm doing a 5K inflatable obstacle course in September to raise money for The Corn Exchange Newbury's 'Old Library' project. It's a great cause - The Corn Exchange is breathing new life into a beautiful Old Library building in Newbury, which has stood unused for too long. The site will become the new home for all of The Corn Exchange's creative participation work (which engaged 27,000 people from Newbury and beyond last year alone!).

The Old Library is the perfect new space for this work which is focused on using creative activity to reduce social isolation, improve mental health and build confidence.

Come September, rain or shine, I'll be racing alongside a group of Corn Exchange colleagues, scrambling over various inflatable obstacles (which will no doubt result in a variety of tumbles!); please cheer me on by sponsoring if you can - I promise to upload any photos from the day (no matter how ridiculous), so you can get a laugh or two for your money as well!

Thank you for your support!
