Well done to our Hackney Half Marathon runners!
What an achievement! 16 people completed the Hackney Half Marathon on the 17th May to raise money for the Club. Thank you to everyone who cheered them along and who sponsored them. You can still sponsor them and all money raised will towards our activities helping disadvantaged, disabled and vulnerable young people to feel heard, valued and supported. We now have tickets for the 2027 Hackney Half Marathon - get in touch if you want to run for us!
