Rachel John is raising money for Orchards

Hackney Half Marathon 2026 · 17 May 2026 ·

We come alongside women who have been trafficked for sexual purposes or involved in prostitution, as they overcome multiple barriers in their journeys from exit through to independent living. To date, every one of the women completing residency is no longer in a sexually exploitative situation.

Story

I’ll be doing my first ever half marathon (the Hackney Half) on 17 May 2026! I would love if you would support me and a wonderful cause. I’ll be raising money for Orchards - a small charity with a big mission to help see women free from sexual exploitation. They support women who are not selling sex out of ‘choice’ but whose stories involve abuse, coercion, poverty, violence and homelessness. Their work helps these women into safe houses where they receive counselling and support and start to live a new (independent) life. You can find out more here: Orchards.
