This October, Team Look Ahead will take on the Oysho Royal Parks Half Marathon, running 13.1 miles through four of London's Royal Parks to raise funds for health and wellbeing activities for people facing some of the biggest health inequalities in our communities.

Every day, Look Ahead supports people living with mental health needs, learning disabilities and autism, young and care-experienced people and those impacted by homelessness, complex needs and domestic abuse. . Many of those we support experience significantly poorer physical and mental health than the wider population. They are more likely to live with long-term health conditions, experience social isolation, struggle to access exercise and wellbeing opportunities, and face barriers that prevent them from leading healthy, active lives.

Something as simple as joining a fitness class, spending time outdoors, learning a new skill or connecting with others can make a huge difference to someone's confidence, independence and recovery. Yet for many of the people we support, these opportunities are out of reach.

That's why we're asking for your support.

Every penny donated will fund practical, accessible health and wellbeing activities that help people improve their physical health, strengthen their mental wellbeing and build connections within their communities.

Your donation could help fund:

£20 could provide exercise and wellbeing equipment for someone starting their journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

£50 could fund a group wellbeing activity, helping people build confidence, reduce isolation and connect with others.

£100 could provide therapeutic gardening sessions, giving people the opportunity to improve their wellbeing, learn new skills and spend time outdoors.

£250 could fund a programme of accessible exercise classes such as yoga, chair-based exercise or movement sessions across multiple services.

£500 could support a larger health and wellbeing project, enabling dozens of people to take part in regular activities that improve both their physical and mental health.

Whether you choose to support the whole team or sponsor an individual runner, your donation will help create opportunities for people to be healthier, happier and more connected.

Please support Team Look Ahead today.

Together, we can help more people overcome barriers, improve their wellbeing and build brighter futures.

Every mile matters. Every donation makes a difference
