MAKING A DIFFERENCE & #GIVEBACK
One Running Movement is all about making a difference to the lives, health and wellbeing of children, young people and adults, current and future generations through running and movement.
We have created a number of #giveback initiatives that will benefit many young people across the country and will be managed collaboratively with The AC and working with our Foundation Partners.
These collaborative initiatives will include utilising partner funding to be able to break down social barriers, tackle health inequalities and reduce the associated stigmas related to attending a running track or large scale event from the age of 4 upwards.
Creating a supportive “The AC” Advisory Committee that enables and supports the allocation of funded places to lower socio economic communities and institutions who would otherwise be unable to become part of One Running Movement.
By creating events and partnerships that in turn fund more events, we are able to give back time and money in order to propel One Running Movement forward together and #MoveForLife
We are working with our Foundation Partners to make a difference. For example, we recently launched a collaboration with specialist running retailer Up & Running whereby a % from the sale of each of their new ‘Bag for Young Lives’ will go back into Schools Running Movement creating 200 Schools Half Marathon places in 2020.
The bags are 100% reusable and recyclable, helping to reduce waste, and they are available in Up & Running stores now across the UK.
We’re incredibly excited to be making a difference by all working together as a movement to inspire the next generations of active runners – join us!
