Through our partnership, the University of Greenwich and Palace for Life Foundation, will focus on engaging local communities, expanding access to education, and creating employment opportunities for students.

A team of University of Greenwich staff will be taking on the Marathon March to put our values in action, by creating opportunities for more young people in our local area.  

Meet the Marchers: 

Yvette Fofah, Partnerships Relationship Manager

I’m taking part in the March, because I love challenges that build strength and resilience, and I’m marching to help ensure students have the same chance to transform their futures.I believe in pushing boundaries and opening doors in education, this March will create real change.

Linda French, Admissions Supervisor

I'm proud to be taking part in the Palace for Life Foundation Marathon March, supporting the incredible work they do in the community. As a lifelong Crystal Palace fan, coming from three generations of devoted supporters, this club has always been part of my identity. Walking alongside fellow fans is not just about football—it's about giving back, celebrating our shared passion, and helping create brighter futures for young people in South London.

Sophie Hassell-Richardson, Fundraising Manager

This march is important to me as I join my two passions, delivering impact for causes that need it the most, and exercise! As a beneficiary of bursaries and scholarships throughout my education, I know just how much support like this unlocks opportunities for young people.

Jono Smith

As a Crystal Palace fan, I’m aware of the incredible work that the Palace for Life Foundation does and the tangible impact it has on so many lives. I’m proud to be taking part in my first Marathon March in order to support the foundation in continuing to deliver their vital services to the community.

Carmen Tsang, Supporter Relations Manager

I fell in love with Crystal Palace and it's dinos, sphinxes, and EAGLESS 🦅 when I first visited 10 years ago. Now, as a proud Palace resident, I'm constantly grateful to be part of such a vibrant and welcoming community. This is my way of giving back!

Why Palace for Life Matters

For over 25 years, the Palace for Life Foundation has been using the power of sport and Crystal Palace FC to transform young lives across South London. They're in schools, on estates, and in communities – reaching the young people who need support most but are often hardest to help.

Growing up in south London has never been tougher. But Palace for Life is there, inspiring young people to find better paths, make positive choices, and lead healthier lives.

Your donations will directly fund this vital work – creating real impact for real young people in our community.

Our Mission: 

To collectively raise £1000 for this incredible cause, which will support the delivery of a range of activities for young people in south London. 

Every step we take, every pound you donate, brings opportunity to a young person who needs it.
