Girl power gets Mini Mermaids to the finish in Leeds

Leeds girls are being given a boost in confidence and encouraged to exercise by a new programme launched by a Moortown mum.

Hannah Corne, 36, has established the Mini Mermaid Running Club to promote physical and mental wellbeing and help address the lack of self-confidence often felt by primary school-aged girls.

Sessions have taken place in several Leeds schools already.

MMRC is supported by the Jane Tomlinson Appeal, which has donated £2,150 to help 100 girls complete the programme this year.
