I’m running the 2026 TCS London Marathon for Lewisham Donation Hub 🏃‍♀️

On Sunday 26 April 2026, I’ll be taking on 26.2 miles to raise vital funds for Lewisham Donation Hub, the Mayor of Lewisham’s Charity of the Year 2025/26. You can learn more about their incredible work at https://lewishamdonationhub.org/.

Why Lewisham Donation Hub?

Lewisham Donation Hub, based at Place/Ladywell, is a frontline, volunteer‑powered service that collects good‑quality donations from the community and shares them free of charge with anyone facing hardship. Their website — https://lewishamdonationhub.org/ — shows the breadth of support they offer, from food and household essentials to clothing, bedding, digital devices, small electricals, bikes, and more. They operate without referrals and welcome anyone who needs support, including people seeking asylum, those experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic abuse and families in financial crisis.

Why I’m supporting Lewisham Donation Hub?

After visiting the Hub and meeting the team, I saw the care and dignity with which volunteers support people: a friendly face, a quick conversation, and the right essentials—no referral, no barriers. Their approach is exactly what our community needs, and it’s why I’m proud to run for them.
