Story
YMCA North London's Adult 10k and Childrens' fun runs is one of the largest community events in North London, now in its 29th year!
In addition to the fun runs, thousands of people enjoy the festival of entertainment throughout the day a fun day for families and communities to get together and enjoy a day out, a diary 'must' for many!
This is YMCA North London's main charity fund raising event and the aim is to raise funds to enable vulnerable members of our community to thrive.
Your support allows us to provide much needed services for some of society's most vulnerable groups, especially young people, through our housing, childcare and health and well-being services. Firstly providing them with stability and support, then enabling them to achieve their goals of independence, health and well-being.
We use the funds to provide accommodation and support to 300 vulnerable young homeless people each year at our 154-bed hostel.
PLUS 19,500 concessionary fee rates for local people and families on low incomes:-
- £2 could provide a child from a low income family with a meal at our breakfast club
- £11 funds a discounted after-school club session to a low-income family
- £61 supports a child from a low-income family to join a holiday course
