Team: Team fundraising for Ada, the National College for Digital Skills

Battersea Park Half Marathon · 18 October 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

The digital industry is experiencing epic growth but there is a talent shortage. Over 130,000 tech jobs are available each year in the UK but students are leaving education without sufficient knowledge and experience to get the job. We want to change this. With Ada, students can learn relevant digital skills to pursue their dream job in tech. We are a unique community which puts computer programming at the heart of everything we do. Our students are the future game changers: challenging the norm, excited by change, and resilient in the face of adversity. We want to remove the glass ceiling for women and individuals from low-income backgrounds in the tech industry. Everyone, from any background, is entitled to a quality education and a better future.

Story

I’m running the Battersea Park Marathon for Ada College!

On October 18th, I’ll be running 42.2 km to raise money for Ada, the National College for Digital Skills.

Ada do incredible work helping young people from underrepresented backgrounds break into tech. They offer real skills, industry experience, and - most importantly - access to opportunity.

This cause matters to me because I believe talent should never be limited by background. Ada is helping to create a more inclusive and diverse future for our industry, and I’m proud to support them.

If you can, please donate - every bit makes a difference.

Thanks so much!

Katherine
