DoItForCharity 5k London Run 2009 · 10 May 2009 ·

Since opening our doors in 1976, Gingerbread Corner has been more than just a childcare setting—it has been a place where children feel safe, valued, and supported to grow. Generations of families have come through our doors, creating a strong sense of community, trust, and belonging that continues today. We provide high-quality childcare and early years education in a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to learn through play, build confidence, and develop at their own pace. Our setting is designed to inspire curiosity and imagination, helping children build the foundations they need for life. As a charity, we are committed to supporting families and ensuring our services remain accessible to those who need them most. For many, we are more than childcare—we are a vital source of stability, care, and reassurance. Your support can make a real difference. Every donation helps us continue providing a safe, enriching environment and ensures that every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Story

Over the last 3 years we have raised £2.7m and started to build the fantastic New Gingerbread Corner. We are coming to the end of the 52 week build and hope to move into the new building (shown in the picture) in July/August.

However, we still need to raise funds to equip the place; we need to fit out the romp room and sensory room, to build a multi purpose play court and to buy more computers for the IT suite.

So, 'Team Playcare' (who have worked at Gingerbread Corner for a combined 92 years!) are doing this 5K run. Please dig deep, those of you who have been on any long walk with me will know that for me a 5K run is the equivalent of a marathon for many other people. My target is ONLY £250 but I am more than happy exceed that!
