This is massive!! Experiencing homelessness when you are young can have devastating effects on your mental and physical health, and homeless young people are almost twice as likely to die as non-homeless young people. Over the past 10 years, The Running Charity has worked with 10,000 young people, empowering them to make positive steps in their lives, building their sense of worth, and supporting them to achieve their potential. This year, we have been able to closely support 18 young people who are affected by homelessness or multiple and complex needs to enter the 2023 London Marathon.

Every single pound raised goes towards getting young people who are affected by homelessness access to health and wellbeing services as they get back on their feet.
