This year, a group of runners from Gowling WLG are taking on the Hackney Half Marathon to raise money for Hackney Night Shelter.

Hackney Night Shelter provides emergency accommodation, warmth, safety and practical support to people experiencing homelessness in Hackney. Their work ensures that those in crisis have somewhere safe to sleep, a friendly face to talk to, and access to the help they need to move forward.

By running the Hackney Half, the Gowling WLG Running Team hopes to raise essential funds to support the shelter’s life‑changing work. Every donation, big or small, helps ensure that those facing homelessness can access safety, stability and support when they need it most.
