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.

Together, we can make a difference to others' lives.

Celebrating 5 Years with 5 Grants


In 2025, to mark our 5-year anniversary, we'd like to give back to the people who give so much. We're awarding five £500 grants to healthcare workers who are in need of support.

These grants can be used for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to:

  • Covering the cost of professional training or certification
  • Paying for counselling or mental health support
  • Covering childcare costs
  • Supporting overseas volunteer medical work in conflict zones

If you're a healthcare worker and would like to apply, please contact us here. We'll send you more information on how to apply and what details we'll need.
