Street Storage

Great Birmingham Run Half Marathon

Date: 05th May 2024

Pershore Road, Birmingham

The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is the Midlands’ biggest and best running event, with thousands of Brummie runners taking to the streets every year to challenge themselves and raise cash for charity. There’s everything you’d expect from a Great Run – notorious start line hype, top on-route entertainment and an event village that feels more like an after party – but the carnival atmosphere and the passion and spirit of the runners is all Birmingham. Expect inspiring sights, iconic landmarks and incredible support all along the 10k and half marathon route.

Great Birmingham Run Half Marathon

Founded in 2019 to address a gap in provision, we now operate two London storage sites and support over 250 people. We are replicating across the country in 2023 and have grown threefold in a year. Storing your belongings safely while sleeping out reduces the likelihood of theft, loss and damage and removes physical and mental strain as well as stigma. It rebuilds humanity and gives people freedom.
We:
● Reduce the vulnerability of people experiencing homelessness while alone on the street.
● Prevent hate crimes committed against the homeless population.
● Work closely with charity referral partners to improve access to education, employment and rehabilitation.
We achieve this by providing staffed storage units that are fully insured and secure, removing the primary concern for security and safety of belongings, which encourages people to focus on employment, accommodation, education, and rehabilitation.
