WOMEN’S RUN SERIES
Every step you take, every event you organise, and every pound you raise helps survivors of sexual violence get the specialist support they need. Whether you’re running a marathon, hosting a bake sale, or rallying your workplace or school for a fundraising challenge, your efforts create real change.
Your donation ensures that no one must face the effects of sexual violence unsupported. Whether it’s funding a helpline call for someone in crisis, providing trauma-informed counselling, or advocating for survivors’ rights - every contribution makes a difference.
Find the best way to get involved:

challenge —
Sign up for a local event like a half marathon or create your own personal challenge.

Fundraise with your
group —
Schools, workplaces, faith groups, and student societies can make a big impact by holding a charity day, dress-down event, or team challenge.
