Every £20 you raise can change a life…

Just £20 can start a young person down the path to a better life through dedicated practitioner sessions with Ormiston Families. Every £20 raised could help a child access a crucial initial assessment with one of our practitioners, help us see what support they need and allow us to deliver a life-changing programme.

So, think how many children £1,000 could help… 50.

For children affected by imprisonment, the death of a parent or loved one and children who are simply struggling to cope with their mental health for a number of other reasons, our services give them a lifeline to feel seen, heard, respected and empowered to manage their feelings. We offer dedicated 1:1 therapeutic support with caring practitioners who understand what these young people are going through, helping them get back on the right track to see a brighter future again.

That’s who you’ll be helping when you enter one of these races.
That’s who you’re pushing yourself for.

So, on behalf of all of us – and the young people we support – thank you for yours.

  • Minimum age
    All participants in any event (unless clearly specified) must be 17 years old or over on race day. 
  • Fundraising expectations (VAT‑safe)
    It is a condition of accepting any charity space with Ormiston Families that you set up your JustGiving page within 2-weeks of accepting your place, so that our team can monitor  and support you with your fundraising progress. Please be aware that your entry fee is discounted because the charity covers the balance of the recommended retail costs. We ask all runners to aim to raise the recommended fundraising target or more to support our work with children and families in need. Please note this target is not a condition of entry and you will not be automatically refused entry if you fail to reach this minimum; however, given our charity incurs costs for your space you may be asked to postpone the event if you are significantly under target to allow more time to fundraise and/or cover any shortfall in your event cost (variable depending on RRP of entry).  Each situation is considered on it’s own merits, however.
  • Event terms
    All participants must agree to and comply with the event organiser’s official terms and conditions. These terms will vary depending on the event entered.
