For some young people, even everyday life can feel like a marathon. Our team is running to change that.

The money raised through the London Marathon will enable us to provide safe accommodation for homeless young people, support for those with mental health problems, and the opportunity for others to access life-changing education and training. And if you donate now, your generosity will be felt in around 740 communities across England and Wales where we are making a difference to the lives of more than 630,000 people every year. Thank you for whatever you can give to support our fantastic #TeamYMCA.
