This year we are supporting some fantastic young people to reach a significant goal in their personal journeys and run the TCS London Marathon 2024.

The Running Charity delivers mental health and innovative youth work programmes to young people aged 16-25 who are dealing with homelessness or multiple disadvantage.

Our programme of active wellbeing supports young people through some of life’s most challenging obstacles, providing practical and emotional key work support, a non-judgemental community, access to therapy, personal development coaching, and support with housing. All aimed at enhancing an individuals’ toolkit to cope better with the immense adversities they face.

We operate award-winning programmes in London, Manchester, and Leeds, and are proud to say that although young people join us with a wellbeing score much lower than the general population due to their circumstances, they leave us with a wellbeing score higher than the general population.

Thank you for your support. All donations go to giving young people a chance to get back on their feet and help them achieve their potential.
