Macknade Run

How far are you willing to go for our mission? The answer for some of our staff here is over 40K! The combined distance that they ran for Lily’s kitchen earlier last month.

The event in question was the recent Macknade run where our CEO Zoe, chef Chester, and former site manager Vanessa raised an incredible £800 for Lily’s. This money will go directly to the upkeep of our cafes and facilitate the training of neurodivergent individuals across our local area.

Both Chester and Zoe set personal bests at the event, running 10k each. Vanessa going the extra mile, ran a half marathon, the furthest she has ever run before.

Our staff had a great time at this run and highlighted how events such as these are important in bringing communities together in the support of small businesses. The Macknade run spurred our community into action to promote healthy living, getting active, and supporting those around you. We at Lily’s also hold these values close and are committed to upholding them in our own business practices.

We are incredibly proud of Chester, Zoe, and Vanessa for their effort and fundraising, the money that they have raised will help us immensely with the upkeep of our cafes.
