SPORT Relief 2012 is nearing fast – and WE want to hear what YOU are doing to help raise money for one of the UK’s biggest fund-raising events.

Sport Relief brings the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives. All the money raised by the public helps people living incredibly tough lives, both at home in the UK and across the world's poorest countries.

As the nation celebrates the biggest ever year of sport, the entire country can join in the fun with Sport Relief 2012 from Friday, March 23, to Sunday, March 25.

One-million people are expected to participate in the Sport Relief Mile by the end of the weekend, but lots of other events are being planned by schools and sports clubs.

If you are holding an event for Sport Relief 2012, let us know by contacting us via e-mail at newsdesk@chard andilminsternews.co.uk or phone us on 01460-238180.

Sainsbury’s stores up and down the country are acting as official sponsors for this year’s fund-raising drive and staff at the Chard branch received their Sport Relief 2012 merchandise last week.
