In October the Clifton Parkrun celebrated its 100th event with a fancy dress run and raised over £90 on the day to help raise funds to purchase defibrillators.
Clifton Parkrun meets every week at the pylon on Clifton Playing Fields at 9am.
Everyone is welcome, even if you’ve never run before or if you’d rather walk! More information about the parkrun can be found at [link removed] [ [link removed] ] or on Facebook.

Our ward is one of the most active when it comes to Nottingham's Clean Champions - wonderful volunteers who take a litter pick with them when they pop out for a walk and help keep our area clean!
It's no obligation - but if you join, we'll send you a free litter pick, high-vis vest, purple bin bags and more. Children can join too so the whole family can go out together, as often as you like.

Looking after yourself this Christmas
christmas
Nottingham City Council’s Trading Standards team are asking Nottingham residents to be careful when buying presents for children:
* *Look for the CE or UKCA mark:* These symbols on the label or box mean the manufacturer has assessed the toy for safety
* *Button-batteries can kill:* Check they are screwed in firmly and safely before giving to a child
* *Check age restrictions:* Toys must be clearly marked with age restrictions - always follow them, they’re there for a reason
