Surrey Police are running at Run Thorpe Park 2025 to raise funds for Catalyst Support.

Cuckooing is a hidden but deeply harmful crime, where organised criminal groups take over the homes of vulnerable people, often through coercion, exploitation and fear.

At Surrey Police, we see first-hand the devastating impact this has on individuals and neighbourhoods across our county and we’re proud to work in close partnership with their specialist outreach workers who play a vital role in helping us disrupt exploitation, support victims, and protect the wider community. This partnership not only protects individuals, it helps us make communities across Surrey safer for everyone.

Please join us in backing Catalyst Support’s Cuckooing Team so they can continue to deliver this vital work. Together, we can prevent exploitation and build stronger, safer communities in Surrey.

We have put together a team that will be running at the event to help support in this important charity.
