Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Number of Days = Number of Kilometres · 30 April 2026

After 12 years of renting, Equippers Swindon is making Trinity Hall our permanent home. This kingdom opportunity will transform this historic space into a daily hub for Sunday services and community outreach, serving as a light to our town.

Story

This April, my friend Unathi and I are taking on a challenge: running every single day — the number of kilometres matching the day of the month.

That means 1km on April 1st, 10km on April 10th, all the way up to 30km by the end of the month! 🥵🏃‍♀️

We’re doing this to raise money for something incredibly special — our new church home, Trinity Hall.

For over 12 years, our church has been renting different venues, but now an amazing opportunity has opened up for us to secure a permanent home in the heart of Swindon. This building isn’t just about having a place to meet on Sundays, it’s about creating a hub to serve our community throughout the week.

The vision for Trinity Hall is huge:

- A permanent base to reach our town with hope

- A 280-seat auditorium for worship and gatherings

- Dedicated spaces for kids and youth

- A sensory room for individuals with additional needs

- A community café open to the town

- A fully accessible building for everyone

To move in and begin renovations, we’re aiming to raise £200,000 as a church family. Every donation helps us step closer to securing the keys and transforming this historic building into a place that serves people seven days a week.

So throughout April, every kilometre we run represents our commitment to this vision — and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Whether you give a little or a lot, your support will help create a space where lives are changed, community is strengthened, and hope is shared.

Thank you for cheering us on and supporting this journey! 🙌
