Staff and students from Hartpury University and Hartpury College have come together to raise funds and awareness for the Hollie Gazzard Trust, taking part in a 10k walk and a vibrant Colour Run event in support of the charity’s important work.
Four members of staff and four students laced up their walking boots to complete a 10k sponsored walk, proudly supported by Hartpury University and Hartpury College. The walk, held in aid of the Hollie Gazzard Trust, highlighted the institution’s ongoing commitment to supporting causes that promote safety and positive relationships.
The fundraising didn’t stop there. Around 70 staff and students also participated in a lively Colour Run event, turning the campus into a swirl of colour and community spirit. The event was met with much enthusiasm, with participants embracing the opportunity to get messy for a meaningful cause.
Together, the two events raised £846.23 for the Trust, which works to reduce domestic abuse and promote healthy relationships through education and support programmes.
“We’re incredibly proud of the effort shown by everyone involved,” said Natalie Retsis, Head of Residential Life & Residential Services at Hartpury University and Hartpury College.
“The dedication of our staff and students, both in completing the 10k walk and bringing the Colour Run to life, reflects the strong sense of community here at Hartpury. Supporting a cause as vital as the Hollie Gazzard Trust means a great deal to us.”
