Raising funds through Reading Half Marathon and the Green Park Mini Marathon

Fantastic annual fundraising events on our doorstep

Could you run for us in 2026?


Times are tough and need for our services is growing. If you would be up for running Reading Half Marathon to raise funds for us in 2026, we'd love to hear from you. 

You'll get:

  • free entry
  • a breathable recycled PET running vest
  • running coaching and encouragement
  • mutual support through WhatsApp and Facebook groups
  • We'd just ask you to aim to raise at least £50.

Or if a half marathon is too much for you, how about the Green Mini Marathon 3km fun run? 

We'll send you full instructions for setting up your fundraising page and will help to promote it for you.
