YMCA Fylde Coast Takes on the Blackpool Half Marathon to Support Housing Services

This April, a dedicated team from YMCA Fylde Coast will lace up their running shoes and hit the iconic Blackpool Promenade to participate in the Blackpool Half Marathon. But they’re not just running for the thrill – they’re running to make a difference. Every step will help raise vital funds for our YMCA Housing Services, supporting individuals facing homelessness across the Fylde Coast.

Why We’re Running

At YMCA Fylde Coast, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home. Our housing services provide essential support to individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their homes. From offering emergency accommodation to providing long-term support for independent living, we are committed to rebuilding lives and restoring hope.

How You Can Support

You can help us go the distance! Every donation, no matter how big or small, will directly contribute to our housing services, providing shelter, support, and a fresh start for those who need it most.

Meet Our Runners

Our passionate team of YMCA staff, members, and supporters are ready to take on the challenge. From seasoned runners to first-timers, each runner has their own motivation for supporting our housing services.

“Knowing that each mile we run is helping someone rebuild their life keeps us going. It’s more than just a race – it’s a step toward positive change.” – Terri, YMCA Housing
