Linden Jones, the Trust Manager for the charity, said, “We are thrilled to become an official Charity Partner for the half marathon. It’s fast become one of Wales’ most anticipated fitness events and as well as helping to raise much needed funds for the Trust, it will encourage more people in our communities to start leading a healthier lifestyle and become more active, which is one of the charity’s main goals.”
David Martin-Jewell, Race Director said, “I am delighted to announce Swans Community Trust as our Community Charity Partner for 2016. The work the Trust undertakes across the entire Swansea Bay region, supporting a wide and varied range of projects and schemes, is tremendous.
