Diamond Bus North West Continues School Visits Ahead of Ironman Kids Run

06 May 2026

North West

Diamond Bus North West has continued its community outreach this week with a visit to another local school, Orrell Holgate Academy in Orrell, as part of our ongoing support for children taking part in the Ironman Kids Run on 6th June in Bolton.

Following our recent visit to a Bolton school, today’s visit in Orrell allowed our team to hand out further free entry tickets, giving more children the opportunity to take part in this exciting and inspiring event. The Ironman Kids Run plays an important role in encouraging young people to stay active, build confidence, and experience the positive benefits of sport in a fun and inclusive environment.

It was a pleasure to meet pupils and staff, see the enthusiasm from the children receiving their tickets, and discuss the importance of promoting physical activity and wellbeing from an early age.

Diamond Bus North West remains proud to support initiatives that positively impact the communities we serve, and we look forward to cheering on all participating children as they take on the challenge and cross the finish line on race day.

Matt Rawlinson Managing Director at Diamond Bus North West, says: "We have now been out to a school in Wigan, that's 2 boroughs of Greater Manchester, this is about health and wellbeing, it's about encouraging young people to stay active and build confidence in themselves. I am personally proud that I am able to help the youths of Greater Manchester."
