Story
Run the Brighton Half Marathon for The Sunnybank Trust and help make inclusion possible.
The people we support don’t lack ambition or potential - they lack opportunities.
We’re a local charity supporting adults with LD across Surrey to live full, connected lives as part of their communities. We also raise awareness to challenge the stigma and inequality that still exists.
💙 Why your fundraising matters:
• Life expectancy for people with LD is still 20 years lower than the general population
• 1 in 3 young people with LD spend less than one hour outside their home on a typical Saturday
• Only 23% of adults with LD are registered with a GP – meaning many are missing out on vital support
• 40% of people with LD live with parents over 60, with no long-term support plan
• People with LD are 50 times more likely to experience mental health issues
• 98% of our Sunny Afternoon Craft Club members reported attending nothing else outside our Sunnybank
And the need is growing. In Surrey, the number of adults with a learning disability is expected to rise by 4.5% by 2040. At Sunnybank, the number of people we support increased by 15% in the past year.
By joining Team Sunnybank, you’ll help us:
☀️ Deliver expert advocacy and wellbeing support
☀️ Provide inclusive clubs where people can build friendships and confidence
☀️ Support people to gain life skills, independence, and community connections

Every step you take helps someone feel less alone and more included.
Run with us – and help create a community where everyone belongs.
