This year our Edinburgh staff will be once again taking on the Edinburgh Marathon Festival to raise money for our charity partner Fresh Start.   

On Sunday 27th May 2018 our group of finely honed athletes will be lacing up their trainers and puffing their way through the Edinburgh sunshine to raise lots of money for a great cause.  

We have two teams of four relay runners taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Relay. This is a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles and we also have one runner taking the half marathon head on, running a lung busting 13 miles. 

Fresh start is a local Edinburgh charity committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness in our city. The experience of being homeless can have a devastating impact. Many homeless people who are allocated housing find themselves back on the street.

Fresh Start help those who have been homeless settle into a new home and back into their community to end this cycle. 

They achieve this by providing Starter Packs of everyday household goods, a Hit Squad which will help decorate up to two rooms, and an opportunity to attend cooking classes and work in one of their community Growing Spaces. 

Their services help people get their life back on track, enabling them to make a home for themselves.
