Run for a Brighter Future: The London Marathon 2026 Challenge

Every year, the London Marathon inspires thousands to push their limits for a cause they believe in. In 2026, two incredible runners from Brighter Futures will take on this challenge with one goal in mind: to raise vital funds for the families we support in Jersey.

Empowering Families in Jersey

Brighter Futures is dedicated to providing 1:1 support and life-changing programs for families facing significant challenges in Jersey. Through our work, we help families build resilience, confidence, and a brighter future for themselves and their children. But we can’t do it without your help.

"Your support means everything to us. Every donation helps us reach more families who need our programs and services the most." — Brighter Futures Team

The Marathon Challenge

Each runner is committed to raising a minimum of £2,300 (per runner) to fund our programs. This will go directly to providing:

* One-on-one support for every family accessing our services

* Parent–Child Relationships programmes, help our clients recognise and value their role as their child’s first and most important educator.

* Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing programmes, which support social and emotional wellbeing, increase resilience to cope with difficulties and challenges to give our clients hope for a brighter future.

* Second-Chance Learning programmes, provide the skills our clients may need in order to progress and succeed in education, work and life.

"Running the marathon is no easy feat, but knowing that each step will help transform lives makes it all worthwhile." — Runners' Quote
