When I first started working for the brick in 2021, I didn’t realise how much they do as a charity and how they change the lives of those facing homelessness and crisis. This really touched me and made me really proud to work for such an amazing charity that go above and beyond to give people the support they need and to help them rebuild their lives. I started my running journey last year after not running for quite a long time. This year I wanted to support the brick by running the half marathon to raise vital funds for this worthy charity, I get to call my employer. Please help me raise these funds so we can support the people that need it most.

Join Team Brick at the Run Wigan Festival 2026 — whether it’s a Half Marathon or a 5K — and every step you take will help provide:

Safe accommodation and specialist support for people experiencing homelessness

Food, warmth, and essentials for individuals and families in crisis

Pathways to stability, independence, and hope

Take on the challenge. Run for your community. Run for The Brick. ❤️
