Six incredible runners are taking part in the iconic 26-mile London Marathon this April for London Youth!

Every donation you make towards their challenge will help London Youth create brighter futures for disadvantaged young people.

London currently hosts incredibly high rates of child poverty, and the highest rates of child obesity and youth unemployment in the UK.

Community youth organisations provide a constant lifeline and a vital safe space where young people can develop confidence, resilience and skills.

Every year we work with over 25,000 young people through our sports, employability, youth action, mental health, arts and outdoor education programmes. Our network of youth organisations support over half a million young Londoners, and we deliver training sessions to over 1,000 youth professionals each year.

We look to work with all young people, focusing particularly on those who wouldn’t otherwise have access to the kind of opportunities we offer.

Our vision is that all young Londoners grow up healthy and able to express themselves, navigate a fulfilling career and make a positive contribution in their communities.

We can't do it without the support of passionate people like you - so thank you for supporting our amazing runners, and we hope to see you cheering them on in April!
