Thomas Gilbert is a great and faithful volunteer at Refresh Deansgate, and has been a wonderful supporter of all that we do in Blackpool, getting involved wherever he can.

Over the last 18 months, he has been at the gym with Simon, losing 3 stone in weight and keeps at it, despite being partially sighted.

At the Blackpool Festival of Running, he is running both the 10km and the 5km runs within 3 hours of each other to raise money for Refreshment UK. Simon will be with him for the 10km.

Both events take place on Blackpool Promenade on 22 April - the 10km at 10.30am and the 5km at 1pm. Please do get alongside him and support him in his fundraising for Refresh Deansgate.

Refreshment UK exists to encourage and equip Christians through pioneer mission training and opportunities both in the UK and overseas. We do this through training courses, local community development, overseas mission experiences and ecumenical activities.
