Running a 10k for The One Love Charity in Southend · 5 October 2025

On Sunday 5th October an amazing group of our volunteers, supporters and guests are taking part in the Southend 10k 2025. All funds raised will go directly to support the local community. We are looking forward to cheering you on.

Story

The One Love Project is a small, independent charity offering support to some of the most vulnerable members of the community—including those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, living in insecure housing, experiencing food or fuel poverty, poor mental health, or isolation.

They provide free access to food and vital ongoing support for people across Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding areas, 52 weeks a year.

As my wife has currently taken on the role of CEO, she has really opened my eyes to how vital The One Love project is. It is shocking how much people rely on them. There are currently 950 registered adults and children who use the service. The project relies entirely on donations and so raising money for them is critical to stay operational.

Please support The One Love Project by sponsoring me to run a 10k on October 5th. Every penny counts and I know both my wife, the people and families she supports will be extremely grateful

The following quote is something my mum lived by and something I also believe in:

'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' - Matthew 7:12 | Luke 6:31
