Running for Pride
Ellis Evans, a Support Worker at our supported living home in Neston, Cheshire, will be taking on the 5K Wirral Running Fest on the 31st of May 2026 alongside James, a person we support, to raise funds for Chester Pride. A charity that champions inclusion, celebrates diversity, and supports the LGBTQ+ community.
As a Support Worker, Ellis plays a vital role in helping people build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging. Across our homes, dedicated teams support individuals with learning disabilities and additional needs to step beyond their comfort zones and achieve things they may never have thought possible.
Taking on this 5K run is one such opportunity.
For James, this challenge represents a significant personal achievement. Being deaf and having learning difficulties, large and busy events can feel overwhelming. However, he has chosen to face this challenge head-on, embracing the opportunity to be part of a vibrant, inclusive community while also working towards his personal fitness goals. James already enjoys staying active, regularly attending the gym and swimming.
In the lead-up to the event, Ellis and James will be training side by side. Each step they take is not only towards completing the run, but also towards building confidence, independence, and a deeper sense of belonging.
This is more than just a run. It’s a celebration of courage, inclusion, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and valued. If you are able to donate, please visit their fundraising page: Fundraiser by Ellis Evans : Chester Pride and the Community
Best of luck to Ellis and James!
