We are absolutely chuffed to bits to tell you some amazing news! It is really important to us as a club that the way we look after our members and operate is carried out in a transparent and trustworthy way. We feel it is important for our members to know that when we say we are “not-for-profit”, we really are, and that the £2 paid to us at every session from our lovely runners is used to further the purposes of the club.

So today, we are delighted to announce that the #MileShyClub has become an official charity! This means we are regulated by the Charity Commission and have to meet certain legal duties and responsibilities. It also means that you can see our club on the Register of Charities – our registered charity number is 1183949.

So there you have it. When this club was started on 8th January 2017, club founder Jane wanted to simply do something that made a positive difference to peoples’ lives. So now, as a charity, we can happily and confidently say that the #MileShyClub will always be a charitable venture, now, and in the future :-)

Thanks for supporting us everyone!
