London Marathon fundraiser for Young Roots

Helena Pribyl is raising money for Young Roots

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

Young Roots is a London-based charity working with young people, aged 11-25, who are refugees or seeking asylum in the UK, most of whom are alone without their families. We provide practical and emotional support through Casework, Youthwork, and specialist advice via partners.

Story

All donations welcome to empower young refugees as they rebuild their lives.

I’m so excited to take on London Marathon for the first time! 26.2 miles around my home city, home to millions of wonderful people from around the world.

As my second marathon and second fundraiser for Young Roots, every penny goes to:

1:1 Casework supporting young people to resolve the many complex challenges they face in their daily lives.

Youth and sporting activities through which young refugees can build trusted relationships, reducing their social isolation and loneliness.

Mental health support to help heal the trauma and feelings of loss many young refugees experience.

Quality legal advice to help young people navigate the complex immigration and age assessment systems, and to access their rights.

English language mentoring to support young people's social integration and access to education.
