Fun Runners
In June 2023, Dean Perrysmith completed the Sutton Coldfield Fun Run, raising over £260 for Age UK Solihull. Like us, the Fun Run was celebrating its 40th anniversary that year!
In May 2022, a group of Solihull mums completed the Knowle Fun Run in aid of Age UK Solihull, dressed as grannies. They raised almost £1,000 between them, and deservedly also won the trophy for the best fancy dress.
Also completing the run was supporter, Manish Kumar, who took on the 10k race and raised £158 to help us support older and vulnerable people in the Solihull borough.

Captain Tom 100 Challenge
Solihull Healthcare Partnership joined team Age UK Solihull for the Captain Tom 100 Challenge, which took place in April 2021 to mark what would have been Captain Sir Tom Moore's 101st birthday.
The SHP team took on a range of 100-themed challenges, from 100 minutes paddling on the river (pictured) to spotting 100 deer, and eating 100 squares of chocolate.
The team raised £132 to help us provide our services for older and vulnerable people in Solihull.
