We are running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October on behalf of a great Charity. As both of us are involved in the Construction industry, we have chosen a Construction charity which we are passionate about. 

 

Article 25 is a UK registered charity that designs and delivers buildings and structures for those in greatest need worldwide. They build bigger, better, safer, and more sustainably, in developing countries and after disaster. They have saved projects which would have failed, made buildings safe which would have been deadly and provided buildings which their partner charities thought would take three or four times the budget they used.

They are architects, engineers, physicists, project managers and other built environment experts. They build schools, bridges, clinics and homes. They provide free or not for profit construction services to aid agencies, charities, NGOs and communities. They make sure every built project is also a development opportunity - they share skills, train local workers and emphasise community participation as a priority.

Article 25 have done some amazing work in Haiti & Pakistan, rebuilding infrastructure to rebuild peoples lives.

 

Please dig deep! There will be some (somewhat) friendly competition on race day!
