A little throwback to the Letchworth 5K! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We had such a brilliant day supporting this fantastic local event and cheering on everyone who took part.

From handing out water at the finish line to meeting so many people from across the community, it was great to be right in the middle of the action.

At Albon Financial Planning, being part of the local community means a lot to us, so we’re always proud to get behind events that bring Letchworth together.

Already looking forward to the next one! 🙌
