Big News from Runspire Nottingham! We’ve Won an Award! 🏆

We’re absolutely buzzing to share that Runspire Nottingham has been named “Most Empowering Fitness & Wellbeing Support NPO 2025 – East Midlands” by Acquisition International Magazine as part of their Non-Profit Organisation Awards!

This award means a lot to us. It recognises the hard work, passion, and community spirit that runs through everything we do — from Couch to 5K groups and Nordic walking to our wellness walks and youth programmes. It’s all about helping people feel good, get active, and be part of something inspiring.

Every week, we see the impact our sessions have — people gaining confidence, making new friends, improving their mental health, and finding joy in movement. That’s what keeps us going.

Here’s what our founder Paul Hopkins had to say:

“We’re over the moon! This award is for everyone who’s ever turned up to a session, volunteered their time, or simply supported what we do. You’re all part of something special, and this just confirms that others are noticing it too.”

The awards, now in their fifth year, celebrate organisations that are making a real difference in their communities. Winners are chosen purely on merit — no fancy nominations or big budgets required, just honest, hard work and heart. 💛
