Battersea Park 5k & 10k
Sunday 22 June 2025
Battersea Park is one of London’s most picturesque parks and has been a favourite course for those wanting to run a PB!
Royal Parks Half Marathon
Sunday 12 October 2025
This is the most spectacular half marathon that central London has to offer - it is a unique and inspiring event.
Fundraise as individuals
Channel your everyday hobbies into a way to fundraise, like a bake sale or quiz night. Or ask friends and family for donations instead of gifts for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, or baby showers. For example, Dylan, Maia and River Ray’s first birthday crowfunder raised nearly £10,000 for us, including match funding from a big brand!
Whatever you choose, you’ll be making a difference to families in need.
Hold a community event
Involve your local community group or school in organising an event. It’s a great way to bring together your community while making an impact. For example, we’ve had funds raised by Neptunes Choir - A concert with Dan Gillespie Sells from The Feeling and Neptunes Children's Choir, and Oval Bandstand Margate's charity dance event!

I’m taking on this challenge to raise money for Mama to Mama, an incredible charity that supports Early Years children growing up in poverty in Thanet. Every day, families in our community struggle to afford the most basic necessities—food, hygiene essentials, fuel to keep warm—and far too often, children are the ones who suffer most.
This marathon is about more than just miles—it’s about making a difference. Every step I take is for those little ones who deserve a better start in life, and for the parents fighting every day to give them one.
