The Hackney Half brings runners of all abilities together to take on an iconic challenge while raising vital funds. Supporting Furnishing Futures, every mile helps turn empty properties into safe, furnished homes for survivors rebuilding their lives.

Story

🏃‍♀️ I’m running a half marathon to support Furnishing Futures! 🏡

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love making any space feel cosy and comfortable — so this cause really speaks to my heart. Furnishing Futures helps women and children who’ve experienced domestic abuse or homelessness by turning empty social housing into warm, safe and beautiful fully furnished homes. Many survivors are rehoused with nothing - no flooring, no curtains, no beds and basic furniture.

It means a lot to me that my run can help change someone’s life for the better — giving families not just a home, but a fresh start filled with comfort, dignity, and hope.

I'm aiming to raise £300, enough to cover the essential items a family needs when starting again after domestic abuse.

To give you an idea of what your donation could help provide:

£50 - Bundle of Love: a wellbeing kit for a woman beginning again

£100 - Baby & Children's Bundle: nappies, toiletries, warm blankets

£150 - Kitchen Essentials Bundle: kettle, toaster, microwave and more

£300 - Full Home Bundle: essential items to set up a safe, functional home

If you can, please consider sponsoring my run and help transform more empty spaces into healing homes for families who need it 💛

p.s. If you are a UK taxpayer, you can add Gift Aid to boost your donation at no extra cost.

Thank you

Valeria
