Why I'm running for The Running Charity

As a volunteer who works very closely with The Running Charity,  from running a group session on a Monday night at Hackney Quest to mentoring a young person, I have personal experience of how their work can truly turn young people's lives around. 

They are an amazing group of people doing an outstanding job of improving young peoples' futures through running. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference to the on-going impact they can make.

More about The Running Charity

The Running Charity believes that running is as good for your mind as it is for your body. Running builds resilience and self-esteem, and we use this to improve the lives of 16-25 year-olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Homelessness can happen at any time and to anyone. And when it happens to a young person it can affect them for the rest of their life. We use running to improve fitness and instil a goal-setting mentality that are key tools in helping these vulnerable young people to build healthy, sustainable futures.
