Members of the community joined the Rotary Club of Wolverhampton at the Best Foot Forward event at Aldersley Stadium, on Saturday, June 29.
The unique fund-raising event dates back to 2013, when Wolverhampton Council, Express & Star and the James Beattie Charitable Trust listened to an outline from the Rotary Club of a new concept in fund-raising and gave it their backing.
Each year, Best Foot Forward supports three nominated charities and they split a “Charity Pot” of about £12,000 which, this year, will be in excess of £10,000.
This is released for the charities by supporters running or walking laps of the stadium, with each recorded lap releasing £1 from the Pot for the charities.
