Hackney Half Marathon 2025

I will be running the Hackney Half Marathon on Sunday 18th May 2025 to raise money for The People’s Recovery Project.

Please donate and help raise funds for this wonderful charity.

A bit about The People’s Recovery Project...

The People’s Recovery Project supports people experiencing homelessness and addiction with the aim of making recovery achievable and sustainable. The project is designed to create an alternative pathway and provide access to residential treatment, co-designed and co-delivered by community members with lived experience.

In 2023, over 1400 people died while experiencing homelessness and over one third of these deaths were related to drugs and alcohol. The number of deaths is  increasing year on year in the UK and the so is the need for support. Over two thirds of people facing homelessness are also facing addiction but opportunities to access recovery are extremely limited. However, when people are given the opportunity to access residential detox and rehab, the results can be transformative.

The People’s Recovery Project is inspired by real journeys made by individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction through treatment and into recovery. These examples are currently the exception and through shared purpose our community is seeking to make recovery achievable and sustainable for people in this situation.

We are building a community that has the knowledge and understanding to support people on transformative journeys and create an environment where great people can become greater people.
