Many new members may not be aware the support that Poole Runners provide to a school in far flung Guyana.  The school provides schooling and improves the education and recreational opportunities of local poor youth in the area. 
 Poole Runners donate a sum of money every year as well as equipment and clothing as seen here, with students wearing our own Poole Festival of Running T-Shirts and a juniors T-shirt.  The school has been in the hands of founders, Edwin and Jane Joseph for the past 16 years, Edwin has sinse fallen ill and they are passing the school into the hands of a congregational church who will continue the good work.  We should be imprensily proud of the support the club has given the school over the years and the opportunities we have given some of the students and we wish them luck into the future.  Our role is yet to be decided, but we hope to retain firm links with the school.
