12 brave (and some slightly terrified) employees from Trade Nation have got together and decided to run the 2024 London Marathon.

The team are very excited to be lacing up their shoelaces and supporting Barnardo's, the UK’s largest children’s charity.

From lunch-time runs in the office around the city of London, to early morning runs before work, the team have started their marathon journey, and they need your help to raise the required funds.

Barnardo's protect, support and nurture the UK's most vulnerable children and last year, helped over 380,000 children, young people, parents and carers via their 791 services across the UK.

Barnardo's help children through the trauma of sexual abuse and exploitation, provide support for young people in care, and give children caring for a loved one the help and support they deserve. And that's not all, their specialist workers support families through domestic abuse, mental health problems, prison sentences, asylum seeking and much more. They also amplify the voices of young people to influence the Government on the issues that affect their lives making sure their voices are heard.

The scale of what they do may be big and complex, but their aim is simple - to provide the best outcome for every child, no matter who they are or what they have been through.

Please give what you can to support Barnardo’s important work and follow @itstradenation socials to keep up to date with their training journey. Thank you!!
