Fulham 10K run in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital – November 17th 2019

Fulham 10K run in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital, which will be returning to the area on Sunday 17th November 2019.

This mass participation running event is open to the public and held on closed roads.

Starting and finishing in Eel Brook Common, the 10km closed road route will take thousands of participants around the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

 

Due to the scale and numbers participating in the Fulham 10K, it will be necessary to implement road closures across the full 10K route to facilitate the safe passage of the participants.

The route and road closures have been carefully considered and selected through a partnership of all local authorities, emergency services and Transport for London to minimise the inconveniences of the necessary road closures.

Emergency Services will be operating as usual and pedestrian access will be unaffected across the event route, but there will be no vehicle or bicycle access on the roads closed for the event. .

 

More information regarding the exact route and timings will be distributed in due course, but it will stay within the same event footprint as per last year.

Please note that the attached map is an indication of the event footprint only, and the exact route will change.

Key roads that will feature on the event route are New King’s Road, Fulham Road, Parsons Green, Dawes Road, Munster Road and North End Road.

 

 

If you have any other specific questions or require more information with regards to the event, please contact the Fulham 10K office directly at 0207 227 0972 (Mon-Fri 09.30 – 17.00), email community@adidascityruns.com or visit the website on www.adidascityruns.com/fulham.

Free Skills Training for over-50s with St John Ambulance

 

St John Ambulance is aiming to increase resilience amongst older people in their local areas.

The goal is to offer vital skills to help people feel more confident in coping in emergency situations whilst ultimately, saving lives.

They have been running first aid sessions all over London, Birmingham and the East of England. In their next phase, they are now looking at offering their Advocate role specifically to over 50s and looking for individuals who would be able to take up this offer.

 

The Advocate role for over 50s: Unlike the usual volunteering offer at St John Ambulance, which has historically been more regimented, they are offering a flexible volunteer role with no minimum number of hours per month.

 

The only requirement is that individuals go out and share the knowledge about first aid in the form of community get-togethers and delivering First Aid Skills sessions to community groups in marginalised areas to increase confidence and knowledge of first aid to help each other when needed.

In return, St John Ambulance offer a free four hour certified First Aid Course, uniform & online Safeguarding training.

 

If you think this might suit someone in your area, your beneficiaries or if there’s a specific individual you think might really benefit from this training and this role, please email info@healthwatchcentralwestlondon.org. and we can refer you to them!

The advocate role works really well for those in close knit communities / work places as well who can act as focal points for first aid knowledge in their area.
