The Boaz Project will host its annual Family Fun and Run Day later this month.  

Everyone is invited to join the fun and games at Hill Farm near Barton Stacey on Saturday, September 28 between 10am and 3pm.

People are welcome to bring their dogs for a scenic stroll around the farm with a reminder that all dogs must be kept on leads.

For those keen to make new furry friends, there will be a gentle walk with Boaz donkeys, beginning at 11am.

Organisers promise live music from the Riverside Concert Band and for those who like to dance like nobody is watching, there will be a silent disco for all ages.

Hot food will be served from 12noon plus ice creams and homemade cakes.

For runners, there will be a chance to take part in 5km or 10km cross-country races, complete with prizes for the best fancy dress. Runners of all abilities are welcome.

Bibs can be collected from 12 noon; the run starts at 1pm.

Every penny raised will help support the work of Boaz, an inclusive farm-based charity set up to provide a brighter future for adults with learning disabilities.

Boaz manager Stuart Palmer said: “We’re excited to host the Family Fun and Run Day here at Boaz. Our 5km and 10km trail offer local runners the opportunity to explore beautiful, private farmland. So why not bring the whole family along and have some lunch, take a stroll with donkeys or cut some shapes on the door floor in our silent disco. We’re looking forward to welcoming both new friends and old.”

Only seven per cent of adults with learning disabilities are in paid employment. The Boaz Project offers friendship, and the opportunity to learn new skills and be productive in a horticultural setting.

Activities include growing fruit and vegetables, cooking, crafts, woodwork and looking after animals, including donkeys, sheep, guinea pigs and a flock of egg-laying chickens.
