Barnardo’s London Marathon 2027 💚

Together, we can make every mile matter.

For over 150 years, Barnardo’s has been working to make sure children have the support they need to feel safer, happier and more hopeful about their future. From our founder Thomas Barnardo opening a school for disadvantaged children in 1867, our commitment has remained the same - to help children and families overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

Today, we support hundreds of thousands of children, young people, parents and carers, providing practical support, advice and specialist services to those who need us most.

Your impact

Every mile run and every donation raised through the London Marathon will help Barnardo’s continue this vital work.

Whether you’re running, fundraising, donating or cheering from the sidelines, your support will help us be there for children and families across the UK.

Thank you for supporting #TeamBarnardos and believing in children. 💚
