Support Schools in your Communities
Help schools deliver on their vision
Sponsorship enables schools to think BIG about their improvement projects.
By receiving a £5,000 donation, schools can kick start a substantial fundraising campaign by mobilising their entire school community with children in the driving seat:
they seek sponsorship from friends and family for their running challenge.
See first hand what good your money does
The funds collected are earmarked for specific uses that benefit the whole school community:
- Building projects: school libraries, refurbishing playgrounds, building sensory rooms
- Learning resources: IT & PE equipment, updating IT infrastructure
- Wellbeing programmes: mental health support and counselling
- Enrichment programmes: extra-curricular activities, specialist teachers, sports clubs, school trips
Run Kids Run reports back on how the funds are invested in - see our impact reports.
Become a Partner
Align your brand with our mission
Elevate your community engagement and make a meaningful impact by partnering with Run Kids Run.
Our events bring together businesses, schools, families and communities to raise funds that create better educational opportunities for children.
Sponsoring Run Kids Run is more than a brand partnership. It's an opportunity to invest in the wellbeing, education and future of the communities where your employees, customers and stakeholders live and work.
Support an Existing Event
We are always looking for new sponsors to help us grow our six London events, supporting schools across the following boroughs:
- King's Cross: Camden, Islington and Westminster
- Battersea: Wandsworth, Lambeth and Westminster
- Leyton: Waltham Forest
- Islington: Islington and Hackney
- Canada Water: Southwark
- Stratford: Newham, Tower Hamlets and Hackney
The more sponsors who get behind our events, the more schools and children we can support.
Bring Run Kids Run to a New Community
Is there a London community where your business has a particular connection or vested interest? Help us bring Run Kids Run there.
We are keen to expand into new boroughs and work with businesses that want to make a meaningful, long-term investment in the communities they know and care about.
With a minimum commitment of £25,000, you can help establish a new Run Kids Run event supporting at least five local primary schools. Your company can become the founding partner, helping to bring together local schools, businesses and families around a shared purpose.
You bring the commitment and local connection. We bring the expertise and infrastructure.
Our team will manage the event from start to finish:
- Identify and recruit the schools
- Organise the venue and course, approvals, support staff and registrations
- Manage logistics, equipment, health and safety
- Engage the community
- Onboard additional sponsors
Together, we can establish a new event that creates lasting educational opportunities for children and a positive legacy in your chosen community.

How the Funding Works
Corporate sponsorship is central to Run Kids Run.
Sponsor Grant: Each participating school receives a £5,000 grant, funded by the sponsors. Schools use this to deliver a defined project that benefits the whole school community.
Community Fundraising: In addition, pupils raise further funds through sponsorship from friends and family, strengthening community engagement and ownership of the event.
To date, school fundraising has raised
Founding Patrons: Investing in the future
Run Kids Run is fortunate to be supported by a group of Founding Patrons who share our ambition to create greater opportunities for children across London.
Our seven Founding Patrons each commit £10,000 a year to support the charity's core operating costs. This long-term commitment provides the stability we need to build our team, strengthen our infrastructure and grow the programme sustainably.
Most importantly, it means that sponsorship funding can go directly towards our events and the schools we support.
Their commitment enables us to focus on what matters most: bringing more communities together, reaching more schools and creating more opportunities for children through sport, education and enrichment.
We are enormously grateful to our Founding Patrons for their trust, generosity and leadership in helping us build the foundations for Run Kids Run's next chapter.
