Age UK Wrap Up and Run 2012
Stones Solicitors LLP is encouraging local businesses to raise vital funds for Age UK Devon by entering a team in Exeter’s own 10k ‘Wrap Up and Run’. The run will take place on Sunday 25th March 2012, along the fast towpaths of the River Exe and through the town centre itself.
The funds will be used to provide a ‘Winter Warmth’ service for older people across the county. This will include a home-visiting service for vulnerable older people, and an ‘advice and comfort line’ for anyone wanting to know how to keep warm and well in winter – and receive hands-on support with claiming benefits.
The ‘Wrap Up and Run’ is an important fundraising campaign for Age UK Devon. Almost 3000 people will die this winter because they cannot afford to heat their homes – more than the number of people killed in traffic accidents.
Solicitors from Stones will be putting their best feet forward and entering a team themselves, alongside Age UK Devon’s ‘Drecklies’. It costs £14.95 per person to enter – and there can be up to 11 people in a team.

Adrian Richards, Chief Operating Officer at Stones said: “With an increasingly ageing population, it is important to support the work of Age UK in Devon. We are delighted to be supporting this excellent event and we hope that as many businesses in and around the city will pitch in with a team.”
