The Running Charity harnesses the power of running to support the mental health and long-term outcomes of young people who are homeless or have complex needs.
- Its programme combines running with individualised personal development to support young people.
- The majority of its staff have personal experience of homelessness or complex needs, allowing allows them to act as credible role models.
- It meaningfully supports over 200 young people per year from its hubs in London, Leeds, Manchester and Brighton and has delivered stunning outcomes.
- Chimo’s funding has supported the hiring of a new coach to increase the number of young people supported.
The Running Charity gave me my life back and more. They helped me take control of the mental health problems that were consuming my life, which I thought was impossible. I’m forever grateful.
