Join us for the Santa in the City 3k or 5k fun run
Santa in the City, a festive fundraising challenge through the heart of London. Whether you’re a member of staff, supporter, learner family member or corporate partner, this fun and inclusive event is a great way to raise funds while celebrating the festive season.
There are many opportunities to make a difference in our schools and college communities over the Christmas period.
For example some schools organise Christmas Markets so that the learners who may be unable to access shops independently, can buy gifts for family members in a supported environment.
We welcome donations of gifts, wrapping paper, raffle prizes but we are also incredibly grateful to any organisations who can lend us some volunteers for a few hours to help wrap presents like our amazing volunteers from Cardo and the Royal Borough of Kingston who helped out at Bedelsford School’s Christmas Market.
A record-breaking number of people entered the ballot for the 2027 London Marathon, and applicants have now found out whether they were successful.
