Charity Work
At Team Anstey we like to give back to the community and raise money for charity.
We raise money by having a tombola at the annual Anstey Gala, cake and refreshment sales and a ‘race bet’ at each league race
and by the occasional football card and a Team Anstey hot pod yoga session.
So far we have raised:
£500 for Soar Valley food bank
£417 for Mind
£350 for the Stroke Association
£300 for Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre
£100 for Children in Need
£100 sponsorship for Martin High School Sports Award
£80 for Beacon Hill Country Park Parkrun
This years chosen charities are Cancer Research and Rainbows.

Great North Run 2025After the success of entering one of our members into the 2023 Great North Run to raise money for the Stroke Association in memory of our former team mate, Graham Smith, who suddenly and sadly passed away in 2022, it was decided that we would like to make this a yearly event.
This year we are entering 2 members into the Great North Run and the task is to raise £350 each for Rainbows. Our job, as a club, is to hit this target which I know we can smash! We will be planning different things over the coming months for you to get involved with. Well done to Tom B-H and Derek who won the Team Anstey 2025 Great North Run places. |
Leicester Half Marathon 2025Team Anstey have also had a ballot to offer 4 places to our members to run the Leicester Half Marathon or 10K races on 26th October 2025, supporting a local charity, LOROS Hospice.
Helped by our club, each member will raise at least £100 for this fantastic charity. The 4 lucky winners are: Sarah Dave B Tina Hilda |
