Fundraising for Time and Talents
Story
I've been running on and off for a few years now, a good 5k - 10k here and there, it really helped me get my mind out of a rut - recently however, I've been slacking... So in the back of my mind, for the past few months, I mulled over having some kind of long term goal to work up to, a marathon would be nice I thought, maybe a half to start off with, until this opportunity rolled into my work inbox... THE ONE AND ONLY LONDON MARATHON!!
This is a long term goal (which will probably come round faster than I know) that will kick my running into gear, and not only that but I get to raise a good chunk of money for a charity that really does great work with communities in South East London, read more about them below!
Based in the heart of Rotherhithe in South East London, Time & Talents provides vital support, fun and friendship to local kids, families and older people. We deeply value our community, and work hard to help everyone feel valued, connected and included.
By donating to the Time & Talents London Marathon 2024 team, you'll be enabling us to support local people, young and old, from the little ones who have fun digging and planting at our Little Bugs Nature Club, to the older adults who have made new friends at Pub Club or one of our walking groups. Every donation allows us to continue our work, whether matching volunteer befrienders with housebound older people, running our Stroke Club, or providing kids with fun activities, healthy food and opportunities to make new friends.
We spend every pound our Marathon team raises on fighting the isolation experienced by so many older people, and on supporting kids and families bearing the brunt of years of government cuts and reduced services.
With a stride in my step I hope to raise at least £1500 for Time & Talents to support their ongoing community missions.
