Your fundraising makes a difference

Here’s how your efforts will change lives: 

£100 provides life skills workshops for someone with learning disabilities that teaches them about financial advice, digital inclusion, or how to have safe relationships.  

£300 could provide a trip for our LDN Community Hub members to a museum or the theatre and help to reduce social isolation. 

£500 could buy sensory play equipment to support children with SEND in their development and learning.

Meet past marathon heroes

“Running the Brighton Marathon for LDN London was one of the best experiences of my life! Not only did I achieve a personal goal, but I also raised over £750 to help individuals with learning disabilities get the support they need. The atmosphere was incredible, and knowing I was making a difference kept me going when things got tough!”
