At Be Caring, our vision is that “our local communities have the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential in all aspects of life”. It is a vision that goes beyond the care we provide – it is about investing in the communities we are part of and supporting initiatives that make a real difference to people’s lives. Our partnership with Tingley RunFIT is a natural extension of that commitment.
Tingley RunFIT was set up by Natalie with a simple but important purpose – to provide a safe space for people who wanted to run locally but did not feel comfortable doing so alone. Since then, it has grown into a thriving community group with four qualified Run Leaders and a Run Coach, all accredited through England Athletics. The group welcomes runners of all abilities, from complete beginners to those training for marathons, and operates on a firm ethos that no one is ever left behind.
For many members, TRF is about much more than running. It is about getting outside, building connections, staying accountable to a goal, and the very real mental health benefits that come from being active and being around others. That impact resonates deeply with our own values at Be Caring.
Our sponsorship will fund the training of additional Run Leaders, enabling Tingley RunFIT to expand its capacity and offer more spaces and availability to the local community. To mark the beginning of the partnership, Tingley RunFIT will be organising a special run starting from our Be Caring Leeds office in Beeston.
Be Caring is the UK’s largest employee-owned social care provider. We reinvest into our people, our services, and our communities – because we believe that better communities mean better lives for everyone in them.
