We’re running the Sunderland City 10k in May to raise money for Battle Scars. Battle Scars is a charity that supports anyone affected by self-harm. They offer a range of services including peer support groups, workbooks and training for professionals. Having used Battle Scars as both a volunteer and service user, I’ve seen first hand the huge impact it has when someone finally finds a safe space where everyone just gets it. I struggled in secret with self-harm for a long time. But at Battle Scars I know I can always be myself and be accepted.

All donations are greatly appreciated and even just sharing the link helps us too.
