Charity benefits from Gloucester 10K run
By Richard Wright | 18th November 2021
Main sponsors of the 2021 Gloucester 10K race E G Carter presented a cheque for £6,000 to local Gloucestershire charity The Hollie Gazzard Trust, along with race organisers Davies and Partners Solicitors and the Gloucester Quays Rotary Club.
The Gloucester 10k race has raised £70,000 for local charities based in Gloucestershire over its nine-year existence.
Nigel Tillott, of Davies and Partners solicitors, said: "It is wonderful that E G Carter & Co Ltd were the headline sponsors again this year. The company have got really involved in the race for the last four years and it was a pleasure to work alongside them.
"Again, we would like to thank the generous assistance of the whole Gloucester community- volunteers sponsors and supporters - which makes it possible to put on a race benefitting health and fitness, showing off the city and raises funds for local charities. Thank you!"
The Hollie Gazzard Trust was created following the murder of 20-year-old Hollie Gazzard in 2014. Set up by parents Nick and Mandy, along with sister Chloe, the charity fights domestic violence and funds hairdressing training for young people who may not otherwise have the funds to study.
Nick Gazzard, founder and CEO of The Hollie Gazzard Trust, said: "We're delighted and so pleased to have been the main charity for the Gloucester 10K. Thank you to everyone involved and we will ensure that the funds raised will support some of the most vulnerable people in our community."
A total of 800 runners took part in this year's event which was held in July.
