Take on a challenge for Inspire this year!
We have been selected as the chosen charity for the Ipswich Building Society Twilight Road Race in August and by Suffolk County Council for the Great East Swim in June this year.

We are an independently funded education Charity which strives to motivate, inspire and improve the life chances of young people in Suffolk who are in danger of being left behind and strongly rely on the help of our supporters and funders. Take on a challenge for us and support young people in our county!
Great East Swim
Over two thousand people of all ages and abilities regularly take the plunge at the Great East Swim each year, which offers everyone the opportunity to take part – from first timers, to veteran open water enthusiasts. This year, taking place on Saturday 17th June, swimmers can swim either 1/2 mile, 1 mile, 2 miles, 5K or 10K in open water at Alton Water reservoir.
Inspire has been selected by Suffolk County Council as one of their Charity’s for this year’s swim, with 10 complimentary charity spaces available for the 1-mile distance available to people raising funds for their charity. Inspire advise getting in touch with them to arrange swimming for their charity.
