A team of nine runners representing Ambient Support have raised £5.5k for life changing technology.

The ‘Nimble Nine’ raised £5,593 of their £7,000 target for a large interactive digital tablet for the Widmore Road learning disability and short breaks service in Bromley by taking part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon on 7 April.

Sara Barton, scheme manager at the Widmore service, said: “It’s an amazing piece of technology that gives people opportunities to learn, have fun, play games, and experience something totally new. This enriching and engaging tool will have a real positive impact on all those who visit Widmore Road, as well as providing our incredible staff with a new way of expanding the experiences of the people they support. We really hope that locals in the area and the wider community get behind the team and donate!”

The Nimble Nine consisted of individuals who have connections with Ambient Support, including family and friends of employees, and organisations and agencies who work with the charity.

They were: Lauren Jolley, Chrissie Blake, Johann Tritthardt, Phillipa Jones, Tim Vaughan, Piero Barba, Sam Parkins, Simon Thornhill and Toni Spellar. Simon finished 29th overall in just 1 hour and 19 minutes.
