AN employee at Citizens Advice in East Dorset & Purbeck has coined in the cash for the charity by running his first full marathon.

Adam Spong, advice session supervisor, helped raise more than £3,300 by completing the Brighton Marathon, which will go towards the service’s general running costs.

He said: “It was a great event to be part of and I want to thank everyone who has donated and supported me.

“We’ve raised a considerable amount of money, which will help local residents access our services and additional donations are still very much welcome.”

Adam was one of three runners who ran the marathon in aid of the local branch of the charity. The other runners have connections with Citizens Advice.

Citizens Advice in East Dorset & Purbeck is an independent charity and relies on grants and donations to fund its service.
