A team of staff from Gwent Police are doing a 24-hour running challenge in Cwmbran town centre. It started at 12pm today (6 July) and they will stop at 12pm tomorrow (7 July).
The treadmill was kindly loaned to them by Simply Gym and has been set up outside Argus.
If you’re passing give them a wave or better still some change in their bucket 🙂 You can chat to them about careers in the force and pick up some crime prevention freebies.
All the money they raised will go to Ty Hafan, the children’s hospice.

How to donate and support Ty-Hafan
If you’re not going to visit town you can text ‘GPRS61’ followed by your donation free to 70070 (eg GPRS61 £10) and your donation will appear on your next mobile phone bill.
You can also donate on the team’s JustGiving page by clicking this link.
Simply Gym in Cwmbran has offered two weeks free membership to anyone that makes a donation.
