Story

We’re taking on Alfie’s Squad’s Race for a Reason 2026 to help support children and young people who have lost a loved one to suicide.

From Friday 16th to Sunday 18th October, we’ll just one of the many teams taking on a unique challenge, using our teamwork, problem-solving skills and determination to work out clues and make our way to secret locations across the country. All while raising important funds and awareness for Alfie’s Squad.

Alfie’s Squad was created by Alfie, who lost his dad to suicide when he was just eight years old. After struggling to find the right support himself, Alfie wanted to create something that could help other children and families facing the same experience.

Since launching in 2023, Alfie’s Squad has supported children and young people aged 6–17 and their families following suicide bereavement, creating safe spaces where young people can build confidence, friendships and connections with others who understand.

Every donation, big or small, will help Alfie’s Squad continue to be there for families when they need support the most.

Thank you for supporting us and helping us raise money and awareness for Alfie’s Squad!
