Ballyclare Secondary School are delighted to be hosting a Colour Run on Friday 5th June to support the work of Hope365, a charity serving some of the poorest and most vulnerable children in Shashemene, Ethiopia.

Our students will be completing a 3km obstacle course while staff colour them with paint! We hope it will be a lot of fun, but also an opportunity for students to do something that makes a difference. The sponsorship raised by students will help Hope365 to rescue children from the streets and reunite them with their families, and raise vital funds for Hope365's school which provides a life changing education for over 300 students.

In summer 2027 we hope to have a team of staff and students visiting Shashemene to see firsthand the difference being made in the lives of children, through rescue, reunification and education.
