Olivia & Austine will be running Leicester's Half Marathon to raise money for Pedestrian.
Your donation will be helping Pedestrian build a vital hub for young people—a space bursting with creativity, opportunity and inspiration to empower the next generation of artists, performers and creators.
Leicester’s young people are facing an uncertain future. Many feel hopeless, shut out of opportunities and struggling to find their path. We refuse to let them be left behind. This isn’t just a building—it’s a movement. Since 1998, Pedestrian has been transforming young lives through creativity providing education, outreach and training to children and young people (up to the age of 25) whom are at risk, often socially excluded, in challenging circumstances and experiencing disadvantages.
But demand is skyrocketing—we’re outgrowing our space and forced to turn young people away. With a mental health crisis and rising youth unemployment, we must act fast.Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to opening the doors where young people feel valued, supported and inspired to reach their potential.
