🏃♂️💙 COMMUNITY SPIRIT AT ITS BEST 💙🏃♀️
Earlier this month, the streets of Cessnock were buzzing as the Great Scottish Run came through our community.
With the help of our brilliant locals, pals, families of runners and staff, we handed out over 2,500 cups of water and more than 8kg of Jelly Babies to keep the runners going when they needed it most.
The Great Scottish Run raises tens of thousands of pounds for amazing charities every year, and we're proud to do our wee bit. But for us, it's also about showing everyone what Cessnock and Ibrox are all about.
This is a community that turns up. A community that gets behind people. A community that looks after one another.
Seeing neighbours stand shoulder to shoulder cheering on complete strangers, handing out water, offering encouragement and having a laugh along the way is what community spirit is all about.
As a community pub, that's something we're incredibly proud of. The Kensington Bar has always been about bringing folk together, and days like this remind us just how special this area really is.
A massive thank you to everyone who helped out on the day.
These photos are just a small snapshot of a brilliant effort from some brilliant people.
Cessnock and Ibrox, you done yourselves proud. ❤️
