Housing for Women is a housing provider and a charity with a mission to empower women and challenge inequalities they face. We do this by providing quality, affordable homes and support services for women and their families in London. 

We believe everyone has a right to safe, affordable housing regardless of circumstance. We work with disadvantaged women, women escaping gender-based violence and older women.

Through our supported housing projects and crisis accommodation, we empower women to rebuild their lives after they have been trafficked, seek safety and support from domestic abuse and re-establish relationships with their children on leaving prison.  

In support of our life-saving services, the time has come for our annual EPIC 5K & 10k Run. Since 2014, hundreds of individuals have taken part and helped raise over £50,000.  The run is a fantastic opportunity to have fun and get fit while making a huge difference to the lives of disadvantaged women and their children.  

• £50 could fund a welcome pack for a mother and her children entering a refuge, providing essential toiletries and clothing.  

• £500 could pay for an access grant for a disadvantaged woman providing training, education and help finding employment.  

• £1,200 could support the yearly living costs of two victims of trafficking. 

•£2,000 could help provide family therapy for eight women and their children at our refuges, enabling them to overcome the trauma of their abuse.  

We welcome all abilities! Run, walk or dance your way to the finish line. If you are unable to participate but would still like to help, you can pledge support by spreading the word to your friends and family and sponsoring our runners. We look forward to running alongside you in our annual EPIC 5K & 10K Run. 

See you at the finish line!
