Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been given the opportunity to run the 2026 London Marathon for Changing Tunes.

Changing Tunes is a charity that use the power of music to help people lead crime-free lives that are meaningful and creative. They deliver music-making programmes in Alternative Provision Schools, Secure Children’s Homes, Young Offender Institutions, Prisons and Post-Release.

They also run a record label that supports the career development of talented music artists who have been in prison, or who are on the edges of the system.

Changing Tunes envisage a future where every at-risk youth, person in prison, and every individual leaving prison has access to life-enhancing music-making opportunities.

Changing Tunes is making a real difference. Participants re-offending rates over the past 3 years is 5%, compared to the national rate at 48%

They envisage a future where the criminal justice system is genuinely rehabilitative, fostering positive transformation and redemption for all. They dream of a society where vulnerable young people are supported to unleash their full potential.

Changing Tunes help participants to develop ‘human and social capital’ outcomes that support desistance from crime, like improved self-esteem, resilience, mental health and belonging.

The work of Changing Tunes is truly life changing for an individual and this is why I am honoured to pledge to raise £2500 to run the London Marathon April 2026 for Changing Tunes.

Please join me on this journey as I train from couch to marathon runner over the next 6 months 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

All contributions gratefully received,

Thank you.
