Five runners. 26.2 miles. One incredible cause.

In April 2027, our amazing runners will take on the London Marathon for Phoenix Enterprises, each tackling 26.2 miles to raise vital funds for the people we support.

We’ll be cheering them on every step of the way!

Why Phoenix matters

Phoenix Enterprises is a Swindon charity supporting adults with learning disabilities and mental health conditions through meaningful work, friendship and a community where everyone is valued.

For many of the people who come to Phoenix, life can be incredibly isolating.

“Phoenix is, above all else, a place where people connect.”

At Phoenix, people work alongside one another on real commercial jobs, developing practical skills, confidence, independence and a sense of purpose. But what happens here goes far beyond work.

People make friends. They become part of a community. They grow in confidence. They learn to cope better with everyday life and, for some, Phoenix becomes a stepping stone towards volunteering, training or paid employment.

For others, simply having somewhere they belong is life-changing.

For many of the people we support, Phoenix is their only consistent social contact.

The difference your donation makes

Every pound raised by our London Marathon team will help us continue providing this unique support.

Last year alone, 107 adults spent 13,587 hours taking part in purposeful activity at Phoenix. Our service users told us that:

75% felt less lonely, part of a community and had made friends at Phoenix

84% felt calmer

88% felt better able to cope with day-to-day life

91% felt that Phoenix cared about them

Behind every statistic is a person whose life has become a little less lonely, a little more confident and a little more hopeful.

Please get behind Team Phoenix

Training for a marathon takes months of commitment, and on 25 April 2027 our runners will take on one of the biggest challenges of their lives.
