On Sunday, 3 July, a group of ladies working at Withernsea Children's centre will taking part in the Pretty Muddy Race for Life, raising money for Cancer Research UK. The group will be putting their endurance to the test, and getting muddy in the process, to support vital research into the disease.

The group are aiming to raise £200 in total for the charity, and have already received generous donations from the public.

The children’s centre is run by friendly, passionate and knowledgeable staff, who work alongside colleagues from Midwifery and Health Visiting to provide a range of activities and services for children ages 0-19 and their parents, in addition to English and Maths help for adults.

Matthew Temperton, leader at the centre, said: “The team at Withernsea Children Centre are always working in a passionate, creative, attentive, and family focussed way to deliver a high-quality offer to people within the local community.

Their involvement in the Pretty Muddy event is reflective of their drive and motivation to support both Cancer Research UK and their work towards better outcomes for families effected by cancer. I wish them all the best and am sure they will work as the strong team they are to pull each other over the finish line. Good luck, Ladies.”
