Running for the Ruby Project

Ruby Team is raising money for Church Army

Inflatable 5k Bakewell · 13 September 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

We believe in a world where everyone feels valued and knows there is hope for a better future. We live and work alongside thousands of people in deprived communities to improve wellbeing and empower positive change, tackling issues such as homelessness, addiction, poverty and poor mental health.

Story

We’re bouncing, climbing and sliding across a 5k inflatable obstacle course to raise much needed funds for a cause that brings lasting transformation to women affected by the sex industry.

Why we’re running

We are friends of The Ruby Project, and are clambering over this course in the hope that what we raise will help other women overcome the obstacles in their lives.

Ruby exists so that women can choose a life beyond sexual exploitation - offering real alternatives to survival strategies like sex work, which are often shaped by trauma, addiction, or extreme hardship. Ruby is there with no judgement - just love, compassion, and hope.

Every donation will help women access safe spaces, fund street outreach, provide trauma-informed support, and give faith-based encouragement.

Ruby journeys alongside women as they find healing, stability, and renewed dignity.
