The Openshaw Gazette launched this week with it's first paper issue, and Justlife was featured!The article reported on the impending marathon efforts of 15 people for the charity, which was founded in the locality. Here is the full article:FIFTEEN people, including two local residents, will be running the Brighton Marathon in April to raise funds for Justlife, an Openshaw based charity. The centre on Ashton Old Road provides support to vulnerable people and those with complex and critical needs. A daily drop-in from 10am-12pm offers basic advice, an internet cafe, opportunity to chat and activities. A variety of workshops and sessions to help people build skills and move forward. Justlife partners with other services to offer healthcare, housing and employability support. The running team, which includes staff members and supporters, are aiming to raise £10,000 in the event later this year when they will complete a combined total of almost 400 miles.
