On 25 September, I’m joining my Universities UK colleagues to walk the Circle line (15.4 miles/24.8 km) to raise funds for Camden Giving.

Why Camden Giving?

Camden is one of London’s most unequal boroughs. The gap in life expectancy between the most and least deprived areas is 11.6 years for men and 5.5 years for women. In 2026, around 2 in 5 children in Camden live in poverty after housing costs are taken into account. Many people also face barriers to housing, work and healthcare.

Camden Giving’s mission is to end local poverty and inequality in Camden. They fund community-led solutions that tackle the root causes of local poverty and inequality to build long-term change.
