I'm running the 2026 London Marathon for Barnardo's. I am excited and apprehensive about the challenge ahead but with your support I know I can achieve it!

Right now, 1 in 4 children in the UK live in poverty because too many families are struggling to make ends meet.

Thanks to donations like yours, we can make sure families get the support they need—whether it's helping them put food on the table, keeping the electricity on so they can stay warm, or organising special days out for them to enjoy as a family.

Together, we can help children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier, and more hopeful through our specialist services, raising awareness, and campaigning to change the way the system works for children, young people and families across the UK.

Thank you for your support.
