Local charity Age UK Isle of Wight (Age UKIW) are calling for fundraisers of all ages and all abilities to take on their fun-filled 2K colour course this September.

The Powder Run is part of Porchfield Cricket Club’s annual ‘Fun Day’, which will offer dogshows, funfair games, bouncy castle, bake sale, bbq, skittles, stalls and much more.

Elisha Leachman, Age UKIW’s Fundraising Manager, said:

“We are so excited for this year’s Powder Run! We have made our colour course even bigger and better and we hope people will join us in running (or walking!) through our rainbow of powder, whilst helping to raise some much-needed funds your local Isle of Wight charity. Every penny we raise stays on the Island to support our older Islanders to love later life.”
