Foam fest takes place at St Margaret’s Catholic Voluntary Academy

Hundreds of Glossop residents enjoyed a spectacular charity Foam Fest Fun Run and Family Day at St Margaret’s Catholic Voluntary Academy.

The school, on Glossop Road, teamed up with Willow Wood Hospice to hold the fundraiser.

The main event of the day was a sponsored run through a course filled with foam which was suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. There was also entertainment, stalls, games, food and refreshments.

All proceeds went towards supporting patients from the local community who are receiving care from Willow Wood Hospice.

The hospice, in Ashton-under-Lyne, provides specialist palliative care for adults with life limiting illnesses, both cancer and non-cancer diagnosis.

Grainne Beaumont, Headteacher at St Margaret’s Catholic Voluntary Academy, said the school was delighted to be teaming up with Willow Wood.

She said: “All the staff from St Margaret's would like to thank everyone who came to the Foam Fest and supported Willow Wood Hospice. I would like to thank Chloe Sammarco, who works in the school office, for organising the event with Willow Wood. It was a lovely day and the children and adults alike thoroughly enjoyed the foam.”
