Staff of an Exeter playgroup are aiming to raise money to help fund a new building by taking on a triathlon challenge.
The team of 12 from First Steps Community Playgroup will be running – or briskly walking – from Stoke Hill to Exeter Golf & Country Club on Saturday, July 5. They will stop off to complete the swimming leg of the challenge at the club's pool before cycling to Exmouth, finishing at the Bath House pub on the seafront.
The playgroup in Margaret Road – which looks after around 50 children aged between two and five – needs to raise £400,000 to £500,000 to replace its ageing home.
Around £21,000 has so far been raised through social events including bingo nights.
