Regent's Park, Chester Rd, London NW1 4NR
RunThrough are excited to return to the incredible Regent’s Park; one of London’s Royal Parks situated in North-West London. Regent’s Park is home to ZSL London Zoo; you may even catch a glance of some animals along the way! The flat nature of the course offers a great opportunity for a chip timed personal best!
Each kilometre is accurately marked out with distance flags and we have plenty of helpers to keep you on track and to encourage you on your way to the finish.
“African Children’s Fund is a small, UK-based charity making a difference to children born into poverty. Our work with grassroots NGO partners in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe in education and children’s rights is making a real difference to the lives of almost 4,000 children every year. The projects we support are run by local staff who are committed to - and know the needs of - their own communities.
The biggest programme we support is a Porridge Clubs scheme in Kenya which operates in primary schools in and around the town of Thika. Porridge Clubs support children’s education by encouraging school attendance and the completion of primary education. This simple, cost-effective solution to school absence enables 2,500 children to go to school every day rather than working, scavenging or begging on the streets.
Other activities we support range from sanitary towel and educational resource distribution programmes, to legal aid and slum dweller education forums promoting children’s rights.”
