Wave Cafe - A Cafe built on Belonging

Kieran van Schayk is raising money for Wave Cafe

London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026 · 12 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Wave Café is a vibrant, welcoming and fun place where people with and without learning disabilities can meet, socialise, and work together as equals. We want to help our community embrace the "we're all valued equally" ethos that underpins all Wave Café activities and remove the ‘service user’ model of inclusion. We do this by facilitating genuinely inclusive activities at our pop-up café in Muswell Hill, The United Reformed Church, London N10 3NU. Wave Café supports young adults with learning difficulties to develop life skills and gain work experience. We offer a number of internships for people with learning disabilities. We offer: - Tasty food and drink at a price point accessible to all - Creative activities to encourage mixed ability mixing, creating and socialising - A friendly, non-judgmental welcome to all, regardless of ability, age or background - A live example of a mixed ability staff team with opportunities - Partnerships with local learning disability provisions (as staff and as attendees). All are welcome to join our inclusive community café every Thursday 10am to 5pm for drinks, snacks, workspaces, art & craft, delicious healthy lunch, and a real community atmosphere.

Story

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 👋

🏃‍♂️ For those who haven't heard, I’ve decided to kick start 2026 off with a half marathon.

I’m running this half marathon for something bigger than a finish time. I'm supporting something I genuinely believe in: inclusion, community, and equality in action. Wave Café is a vibrant, welcoming and fun place where people with and without learning disabilities can meet, socialise, and work together as equals.

I’ve chosen to partner with Wave Café as they don’t just talk about inclusion, they live it. They create a space where people are valued equally, supported to grow, and encouraged to be themselves.🫂

Training for a half marathon is tough. It takes commitment, resilience, and consistency, qualities that Wave Café helps build every day within their community.

By running this race, I’m aiming to raise funds and awareness for their work, and to support a model of inclusion that works.

Thank you for supporting the run, the cause, and the belief that everyone belongs. 🏃‍♂️💙
