Help Us Support Redbridge High School

On March 15th, 2026, I’ll be running the Barcelona Marathon alongside my friends, Rob and Sam, to raise funds for Redbridge High School in Liverpool—a place that holds a special place in my heart. This school has been a cornerstone of my family’s life for decades. My mum dedicated over 30 years to Redbridge before retiring last year, and my dad devoted nearly 20 years to supporting students and colleagues there.

“At Redbridge High School our aim is to provide outstanding educational provision that will also encompass the holistic needs of pupils, aged 11 – 19 with SLD, PMLD and any additional needs particularly ASD. We will deliver this through a flexible skilled workforce in an inclusive caring environment”

By the time we run this marathon, it will be two years since my dad passed away, and this run feels like the perfect way to honour both of my parents. They loved Redbridge deeply and had a lasting impact on the students, families, and staff there. With budgets being cut in schools across the country, we wanted to do something to help ensure that the school can continue its vital work in the community.

Any donation, no matter the size, will help us reach our fundraising goal and make a meaningful difference at Redbridge High School.
