Brotherhood of St Laurence
Provide more early education support to children in poverty by moving together this Anti-Poverty Week.
The first few years of a child’s life are vital to shaping their future. If left behind in those critical years, they are likely to stay behind for the rest of their lives. We can make sure no child falls behind by moving together this Anti-Poverty Week.
Let’s move together! Rally your colleagues, friends and family to run, walk, leap, wheel or sprint with us this Anti-Poverty Week and raise funds to provide early education support to children in poverty.
Take part! By moving together, we will be able to help more children and families build a brighter future and make sure no-one falls behind.
There’s a race to suit everyone’s ability:
- 3km Walk (family friendly)
- 5km Run
- 10km Run
- Half Marathon
- Wheelchair Marathon
