This Sunday (15th March) Yosief, a wonderful member of our Derby group is running the Derby County Community Trust 10k to raise money for Local Welcome. Yosief’s original fundraising target was £500, but has been increased to £550 as he’s so close to £500 already!
Yosief shared why he's chosen to support Local Welcome's work as he takes on this challenge...
*"When I first arrived, Local Welcome was my first point of contact with the local community. I joined as a participant, and the LW charity welcomed me with open arms and smiles. I found a place to belong—a place where the unfamiliar began to feel like home.
Now, I’m running the Derby 10K in March 2026 to raise money for LW. Your support will help this incredible charity continue welcoming and connecting new arrivals. Every donation makes a real difference—please consider supporting me on this journey!"*
