Douglas's fundraiser for The Running Charity

Douglas Mills is raising money for The Running Charity

London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·

The Running Charity delivers running & fitness programmes to homeless young people in the UK. Our life-changing work tackles the underlying issues that can compound homelessness by developing resilience, improving their mental health and kick starting their motivation and fitness.

Story

Please think about what we all take for granted and think of these poor young people that are without a home and warmth. This charity does great work and adds purpose to these young people’s lives. You never know how homeless people get there and sometimes just need a little help

The Running Charity believes that running is as good for your mind as it is for your body. Running builds resilience and self-esteem, and we use this to improve the lives of 16-25 year-olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Homelessness can happen at any time and to anyone. And when it happens to a young person it can affect them for the rest of their life. We use running to improve fitness and instil a goal-setting mentality that are key tools in helping these vulnerable young people to build healthy, sustainable futures.
