Striders raise funds for charity

Hyde Village Striders Running Club has raised a fantastic £1,267 for local charity, Tameside Action for Social Communication & Autism support group.

Each year the club chooses a specific charity to raise funds for. This year, the club chose TASCA as their chosen charity and raised the funds through raffles and tombolas. The club were helped in the process by Active Tameside's Andy Dwyer, who provided some fantastic prizes.

TASCA are a parent run support group for families with children who have Autistic Spectrum Disorder and communication difficulties in the Tameside area.

The cheque was presented by Liz Mason to Maria Carty and Karen Walch on Monday evening at Astley Sports Village.

Hyde Village Striders are an inclusive running club and are open to anybody over the age of 18 and interested in running.
