Home-Start is a family support charity. We help families who are reaching breaking point because of isolation, bereavement, illness, poverty, and more. Children miss out on the most important years of their life because of family crisis. With Home-Start support, their childhood can start now.

Story

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.
