Kenelm Youth Trust

We are proud to be the charity partner of the year for Run Alton Towers 2026.
Join Kenelm Youth Trust at the start, and help to make a difference to the lives of the
children and young people who visit us each year, as part of their journey of faith.
This year, Kenelm Youth Trust celebrates 30 years of bringing children to Alton
Castle. Over 200 schools and parish groups, young carers and mental health teams,
visit us on day and residential retreats each school year.
The Kenelm Youth Trust is committed to providing life changing opportunities for
young people, helping each person to reflect upon their life of faith, and how they
respond to the call of Jesus Christ in their lives. The Trust has been established by
the Archdiocese of Birmingham, to oversee and bring together the wide variety of
youth work that is undertaken in various settings throughout the Archdiocese.

When you run with us, the money you raise will help to build a brand new Adventure
area on the site at Alton Castle. It will have areas for active play and team building, as
well as a section for quiet reflection and meditation, all within a woodland setting –

perfect for the mental health and well-being of the young people in our care.

When you join Team Alton Castle, you will receive:
 A limited-edition Alton Castle meets Alton Towers 2026 Charity running vest.
 A fantastic cheer team on the day who will support you every step of your run.
 A day in the theme park, followed by the celebration of Holy Mass and
refreshments back at the Castle.
