Funds raised through your incredible efforts will go towards supporting survivors of modern slavery*
Modern Slavery is not just a problem in other countries. It exists in our own, local communities here in the UK. It is inconceivable to think that today, woman, men and children are treated as commodities – bought and sold to satisfy the greed and desires of others.
We passionately believe that no one is beyond hope, however great their problems. So very often, through our care, support, practical help and the time we freely give, people find the strength to turn their lives around. Above all, we are a friend to people who have nowhere else to turn, offering love and hope in place of despair.
* Or your funds raised can go towards any Salvation Army project or Salvation Army Corps close to your heart.
When you run with #TeamSallyArmy, not only will you be helping to transform the lives of vulnerable people, you’ll be part of an incredible group of supporters who will get:
- A free breathable Salvation Army running vest with your name on it
- Membership to our exclusive London Marathon closed Facebook group and Strava running club!
- A dedicated London Marathon rep to give you fundraising support
- A fundraising pack crammed full of ideas
- A winter training snood
- A pre-race Pasta Party
- Discounted accommodation in London for the night before and/or the night of the race*
- Support from our enthusiastic Cheer Squad on race day
- £100 sports vouchers to our top 3 fundraisers**
* Offered on a first come, first served basis and subject to coronavirus restrictions.
** T&Cs apply. These vouchers will be awarded to the 3 runners who have raised the most funds by the end of day, 31 December 2021.
