About

The GreATE 24 Hour Run is a fundraising event run by volunteers from Active Training and Education (ATE). We will be in a continuous relay for 24 hours- at any one time, one of us will be running, walking or crawling around a 2.5 mile circuit by the River Severn in Worcester, to help raise funds that will support the organisation's mission. ATE are a charity who run residential summer camps for children aged 8-16 in the UK. I was lucky enough as a child to attend some ATE Superweeks - these were allways the best part of my summer holiday. I had a brilliant time making new friends, playing imagintive games, learning skills and having fun. As an adult I have volunteered for ATE for many years and still really enjoy going on superweeks! I really believe in the ethos of this charity and would love to raise money to provide more young people with the same brilliant experineces I had. ATE widely promotes the value of play and related activities and to give as many children as possible access to our unique repertoire. We aim to stretch and challenge children’s imaginations and expectations of themselves and to increase their confidence and self-belief. A Superweek provides new activities and experiences for children; new hobbies, new games, and new friends and allows children to discover new talents and interests.
