HARP, Southend’s homeless charity, is inviting the local community to take part in the first-ever Southend
Pier Dash on Sunday 27th March 2022.
Participants will run one mile along Southend’s iconic pier, the longest pleasure pier in the world, to help overcome homelessness for good. The event is extremely exclusive and has only 100 places available.
Dina Jobson, HARP’s Head of Fundraising said: “We are so excited to bring this brand new event, the first of its kind, to Southend. We hope that this fun and competitive dash will be a chance for people to get involved, fundraise and run in solidarity with people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in and around Southend.”
On average, HARP help around 1,000 local people every year to overcome or avoid homelessness.
