Run For Greater Change

Sign up to run in support of Greater Change in the Kew Gardens Half Marathon on 31st March 2024! Running for Greater Change is an amazing way to support the work we do.

Not only can you raise vital funds to help individuals out of homelessness, you can also spread the word about our cause and get some exercise in the process. We’ll also make sure you’re running in style by sending you a Greater Change running top!

The Kew Gardens Half Marathon 2024 is the perfect race for all running abilities, whether you’re a seasoned marathon runner or if this is your first long distance race. The course is very flat and is set in a beautiful location.

The number of homeless households in the UK has increased by 32% since 2020. The crisis is worsening and your support is needed more than ever. Raising money for Greater Change is the perfect way to make an impact, by giving money directly to those who need it most.

100% of the funds raised will go directly towards helping someone take large milestone steps out of homelessness!
