A team from Banbury Young Homeless Project came out top at a town fun run.

The team of five, including charity volunteers, teenagers who use the service and the chief executive officer, scooped the trophy for fastest team at the two-mile Banbury Fun Run, held at Spiceball Park.

So far the group has raised £400 for their BYHP charity and hope to eventually top £600.

Team captain Ed Hirons said “I’m proud of how everyone pulled together and worked as a team.

“We were baking cakes the day before to sell, putting up a complicated gazebo together and everyone really encouraged each other in their run.”

BYHP chief executive Clare Norton said members of the charity were in training to take part in the Banbury Triathlon in May followed by other events across the summer.
