This year, 8 Headlanders will be running the Hackney Half, raising money for the AMOS Bursary.

The Bursary supports Britain's talented and underestimated young people of African and Caribbean heritage aged between 16-24, who attend or have attended state schools. Students are empowered to fulfil their academic potential, attend top universities and secure professional jobs. The AMOS Bursary programme currently gives these young people the self-belief and soft skills they need to succeed in their chosen careers.
