I’m taking on the Great North Run 2026 to raise funds for 10 Home-Start charities across the UK, all of which support families with young children who are facing some of life’s toughest challenges.

I’m proud to be the personal account manager for each of these Home-Start sites, supporting them day-to-day with their telecoms needs. Through this role, I’ve seen first-hand the incredible, life-changing work they do — often quietly, behind the scenes — to support families experiencing isolation, illness, mental health challenges, or financial hardship.

Home-Start is a UK-based charity that provides confidential, non-judgmental, and free support to families with young children, helping them build resilience, confidence, and a better future.

‍♂️ Why this run matters

By running the Great North Run, I want to give something back to the organisations I work so closely with and genuinely admire. Every donation will help ensure these vital local services can continue supporting families when they need it most.

How the funds will be used

All money raised will be split equally between the following 10 Home-Start services:

Home-Start West Berkshire

Home-Start Stroud & Gloucester

Home-Start Ealing

Home-Start North Wiltshire

Home-Start Hampshire

Home-Start Kernow

Home-Start Cotswolds

Home-Start Watford & Three Rivers

Home-Start Edinburgh

Home-Start Kincardine

I will personally ensure the funds are distributed and will share confirmation once donations have been passed on.

Thank you

Whether you donate, share, or cheer me on, thank you for supporting families across the UK. Every contribution — no matter the size — helps make a real difference.
