Food Bank Appeal in February

We are supporting our partners Styal Running Club who are taking part in the Food Bank Run and collecting food at Phoenix clubhouse throughout February. Around 500 clubs have signed up to support this great cause Nationwide.

Donations will go to local food banks including Hope Central, Foodfriend and The Trussell Trust. 

Please support if you able to.
