Businesses have been urged to support a fun run in Shenstone later this year.

The event will take place on 29th September and help to raise money for a new play area.

Eddie Hughes, who currently sits as Walsall North MP but will stand as the Conservative candidate in the Tamworth constituency at the next General Election, met with members of the Shenstone Playing Fields Committee who are organising the event.

He said:

“The Shenstone Fun Run is all about the community coming together, offering a platform for local businesses and individuals to raise money for a good cause.

“The team are hard at work to get things ready. Helping as a marshal, sponsor, or supplier of essentials like cups and water can truly make a difference.”
