Every parent wants the best for their child—but sometimes, life throws challenges that make it hard to cope. That’s where Home-Start UK steps in. Through a network of trained volunteers, Home-Start offers compassionate, one-to-one support to families facing tough times—whether it’s postnatal depression, financial hardship, isolation, or overwhelming stress.

By walking alongside families in their most vulnerable moments, Home-Start helps build confidence, resilience, and brighter futures for children.

🏁 Why the London Marathon?

The London Marathon is more than a race—it’s a symbol of endurance, hope, and community. Our runners are taking on 26.2 miles to reflect the strength and determination of the families Home-Start supports every day. Every step they take is powered by purpose.
