St James’s is taking part in End Polio Now by fundraising through the Tour de Clacks event organised by Alloa Rotary Club in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Every £1 of registration money will be boosted to £3 for End Polio Now. With polio now only present In Afghanistan and Pakistan the goal is to have people throughout the world innoculated against the disease.

In addition, sponsor money collected by event participants will be donated to the participants’ own charities, in this case St James the Great Church.
