With the support of fundraisers like you, last year 12,900 households saw a positive change in their housing situation (according to our impact report).

Every mile run, every drop of sweat, and every pound raised will make a difference.

Reaching my fundraising pledge

We’re here to support you with your fundraising as much as possible. Get in touch by emailing running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.

Not reaching your sponsorship pledge impacts on what Shelter can achieve, so please make sure you're confident in reaching this target before signing up to the event. The deadline for sending in your sponsorship is six weeks after event day.

Raising a minimum sponsorship pledge

It's important to raise a minimum sponsorship pledge, as we invest in places at charity events. Each place is important to ensure we raise as much as possible to support our vital work.
