Who this task will support

Stroke Association's Resolution Run Leeds

We're here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives. Rebuilding lives after stroke is a team effort. It takes the determination of stroke survivors and carers, the generosity of supporters and the dedication of the healthcare and research communities to get there.

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

This is a large community event, run by the Stroke associaion in Temple Newsam Park on Sunday 22 March, bringing hundreds of local people together, including stroke survivors and their families, for a fun run. There will be music, refreshments, and celebrations as participants achieve their personal targets. Participants can run from 1K to 15K, with separate 1K and 5K loops to cater for all abilities.

They are looking for teams of volunteer marshals to help on the day, directing and encouraging runners. This is a great opportunity to support the Stroke Association, helping us to rebuild lives after stroke across Yorkshire.

You will be provided with a welcome briefing, branded high-visibility vests, 2-way radios (1 per marshal point) and refreshments for each volunteer.

Anyone wanting to join as a marshal should complete the online volunteering form.

They are asking volunteers to arrive at 9am, with volunteer briefing at 9.30am. All marshals will be offsite by 3pm at the latest.

You can read more about the Resolution Run on their website, on social media (#JointheResolution) and there was a lovely article in the Yorkshire Evening Post recently too.
