This year, Hope and Homes for Children are challenging our incredible St. James's Place supporters, to cover at least 50 kilometres during October, any way they choose.

Each supporter has pledged to cover 50km or more in any discipline. This challenge is about testing limits, trying something new and being creative. All the money raised by our supporters through sponsorship will benefit the charity Hope and Homes for Children.

Orphanages don't protect children, they harm them. Hope and Homes for Children work across the globe to keep children out of institutions and in loving families, where they belong.

All donations raised by the team at St. James's Place will be generously matched by the organisation, which will benefit both Hope and Homes for Children and the wider work of St. James's Place Charitable Foundation.

Every kilometre covered and every pound collected keeps more children out of orphanages and in loving families. £258 could help Hope and Homes for Children trace the birth families of six children currently confined to orphanages. This is the first major step in reuniting loving families.

With your support, we can consign orphanages to the history books in our lifetime. Thank you.
