On 16th February 2021, Run For Heroes became an incorporated charity. Our charitable mission is to promote health and wellbeing by increasing public participation in sport, while raising funds for health and wellbeing initiatives throughout the UK.
We’re proud to have donated over £10 million to initiatives across the UK - from supporting healthcare workers with direct grants and services, to funding preventative healthcare projects that improve access to sport and wellbeing.
Our funding has supported the work of incredible charities, such as; NHS Charities Together, The Care Workers' Charity, Access Sport, Mental Health UK, and many more.
