Labour women will swim a mile for Nottingham children’s charity

Labour Councillors Jane Urquhart, Katrina Bull and Cat Arnold will be making a splash to help seriously ill children in Nottingham by taking part in a sponsored swim at the Lenton Centre on Saturday, 6 March.

The Nottingham City Councillors quickly decided to form a Labour Group team after hearing about the event being organised by Quackers Swim School, based at the Lenton Centre.

Councillor Jane Urquhart said: “The aim of the event is to swim the equivalent of the English Channel – 21 miles. Each team will swim 1 mile which is 88 lengths of the pool at the Lenton Centre!”

It is hoped the event will raise £1000 in sponsor money. All sponsor monies are donated to PASIC (Parents Association for Seriously Ill Children) which is a Nottingham based charity helping terminally ill children and those suffering from cancer.

Councillor Arnold said: “I am a regular swimmer and I am only too happy to do my bit to support this worthwhile cause.”

“This is a great cause,” Katrina Bull added, “we are all looking forward to the challenge but more importantly raising money and awareness for PASIC.”
