NHS: Inflatable 5k runners fundraise for Head to Toe charity

Community nurses, allied health professionals, and administration and support staff, together with family members and supporters took part in the Inflatable 5k event at Huntingdon Racecourse on Saturday.

They were fundraising for Head to Toe, the charity of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT).

The CPFT provides community nursing for older people and those with long-term physical health conditions, mental health services, social care, and learning disability services.

The funds raised by Head to Toe help provide further support for patients and CPFT staff.

Laura Semple, from the charity, said: "We are incredibly grateful for everyone who took part.

"So far the team has raised £4,120, and that money will go towards providing support to patients and to teams at CPFT.

"We are hoping to build a new sensory room at the Cavell centre in Peterborough next year and this will go a long way to helping us achieve that goal."

The charity's next event is a Santa Run in December and Laura added: "We are looking forward to having just as much fun with supporters who want to get involved with that."
