A mental health charity is gearing up for a festive fun run.

Tough Enough To Care is set to host its Santa Run at Sandwell Valley Park, on Sunday, December 8.

The event, sponsored by Smoothstone Care and Education, aims to support the charity's mental health services, which include peer-to-peer support groups, online and text support, and mental health training.

The event will include a five kilometre run for those aged 16 and over at £12, a five kilometre run for children at £10, and a one kilometre run for children under 10 at £5.

All five kilometre participants will receive a Santa suit to wear during the race and take home a festive medal.

For the one kilometre runners, a Christmas selection box and a special certificate will be waiting at the finish line.

Tickets can be booked via toughenoughtocare.help.
