Shropshire Shufflers Running Club has presented West Mercia Search & Rescue with a donation of £4,095.43 following the success of its annual Severn Bridges 10K. The cheque presentation took place at The Quarry in Shrewsbury and was attended by members of Shropshire Shufflers and volunteers from West Mercia Search & Rescue, who brought along one of their service vehicles.

The Severn Bridges 10K is one of Shrewsbury's flagship running events, attracting hundreds of participants each year to a route that crosses five bridges over the River Severn. West Mercia Search & Rescue was chosen as the 2026 charity partner for the race.

Dave Letson, speaking on behalf of West Mercia Search & Rescue, said: 'As a completely volunteer operated charity, donations like this make a genuine difference and help us maintain our equipment, training and operational capability.' He added that the support from the local running community had been 'fantastic' and that the organisation was 'honoured' to have been chosen as the event's charity partner.
