The Outrunners Charity

Our vision is to create an equal Hackney, where everyone is included and no-one is left behind. We believe that by bringing people together to improve their fitness, we can use the power of this collective energy to widen the possibilities for young people in Hackney. We help build young people’s confidence and skills through our activities in the local area, including our youth running club, careers events, work experience and coaching. With cuts to youth programmes, inaccessible jobs networks and career-services often lacking we believe these programmes are invaluable. Our Outrunners crew help to drive real change in Hackney and get involved in a number of ways: from volunteering, mentoring and coaching, to providing work experience opportunities. People generously donate their time to the charity, and we also rely on donations to be able to run our youth programmes and reach as many young people as possible.
