A CHILDREN'S charity is asking runners in Redbridge for their support.

The African Children's Club, based in Waltham Forest, works with young people across the borough and is looking for people who have entered the London Marathon to raise money for them.

As the club cannot afford to pay for places in exchange for sponsorship it is asking people who have already entered to run for the club.

Founded in 2000 the African Children's Club meets in twice a week and works to promote understanding and awareness of African cultural heritage through informal education, music, dance, arts and crafts.

If you help the charity raise funds and are running in the London Marathon call Christine Borash on 8925 2250.
