Jonny runs the Henley Half for Riverside Counselling Service

Jonathan Wooldridge is raising money for Riverside Counselling Service

Henley Half Marathon · 19 October 2025

RCS has been supporting communities across South Oxfordshire for over 35 years. Based in Henley-on-Thames, we support the mental health/wellbeing of adults & young people (ages 12+). The charity offers 1:1 counselling, a support group, a Drop-In Service and professional training.

Story

Therapy has been important to me for the last 5 years. I'm lucky to be able to afford it, however many of those who need it most, struggle to.

My fiancée Emilia is Head of Therapeutic Services at Riverside, a charity that provides affordable counselling to adults and young people in Henley, Wallingford and the surrounding areas.

The money you donate will go directly into the Riverside 'hardship fund' which supports all those who are unable to afford their minimum fee to still access weekly counselling, so that cost is never a barrier.

This year I'm trying to do my bit and help them fundraise, through running the Henley Half Marathon. To make this challenge a little spicier, I've been training to beat my PB...from 5 years ago. Will my knees and tendons thank me? No.

But I'll massively appreciate any money you can donate, to help this important cause.
