In April 2026, a few of us (list below) will be taking on the London Marathon to raise money for two brilliant charities: Kinetic Foundation andn the Bloomsbury Football Foundation.

Thank you so much for any support you’re able to give - it really does mean a great deal.

About the Charities

Kinetic Foundation

The Kinetic Foundation works with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, using football as a powerful platform to support education, employability, and long-term personal development. Through structured programmes, mentoring, and clear pathways beyond the pitch, Kinetic helps young people build confidence, ambition, and the skills needed to succeed both in work and in life. Their focus on creating real, lasting opportunities makes a meaningful difference well beyond football itself.

Bloomsbury Football Foundation

Bloomsbury Football Foundation provides free, inclusive football and mentoring programmes for young people across London, with a strong emphasis on wellbeing, community, and personal development. By creating safe, supportive environments where football is accessible to all, Bloomsbury helps young people develop resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging — both on and off the pitch.

Together, these charities demonstrate the power of sport to drive positive social change, and we’re proud to be running in support of their work.
