Aim
Supporting young people with DJ workshops, music access, and inclusive run clubs to boost confidence, creativity, and wellbeing.
Our Story
Record Run Club was born from two things that have always helped me in life: music and movement. Running has been a huge boost to my mental health, and music has always been a way for me to connect, express myself, and feel part of something. I realised that if these two things helped me this much, they could help others too, especially young people who do not always have access to creative or positive outlets.
So we started Record Run Club with one clear mission:
to empower people through music and exercise, no matter their background or ability.
What We Do
We run friendly, inclusive run clubs for all abilities. They are welcoming spaces where people can get active, feel supported, and build confidence. After runs, we create a social atmosphere with music, community and connection.
A big part of our project is encouraging people to explore music in all its forms. We support independent record stores and help people discover new genres they may never have heard before. Music should be accessible, exciting and open to everyone.
But the heart of this project is our work with young people. Many do not have access to musical equipment, creative spaces or positive role models. We want to change that by taking DJ decks, speakers and music workshops directly into schools, youth groups and community venues. This gives young people the chance to learn, express themselves and try something new.
Our Vision
We want Record Run Club to grow into a community hub where movement, music and mental wellbeing come together. A place that supports people, inspires them and gives young people opportunities they may never otherwise have.
This is not just about running or DJing.
It is about belonging, confidence, creativity and community.
How We Will Use the Money
Your support will help us to:
Buy DJ decks, speakers and music equipment so workshops can be delivered in schools and youth centres
Fund inclusive run sessions, safety gear and outreach work to involve more people
Support travel and setup costs to bring activities directly to young people
Make music and movement accessible to those who need it most
Continue supporting independent record stores and community music culture
Every donation helps us reach more young people, and build a stronger, more creative and more connected community.
