Running for GCF!

Members of the Gloucestershire Community Foundation team – both staff and trustees – are taking on the Cheltenham Half Marathon to raise money for a cause we’re all passionate about.

We’re raising money so we can continue to support the many wonderful and amazing local charities and grassroots organisations across the county, to help tackle disadvantage, strengthen communities, and improve lives

With your help, we are aiming to raise £1,000 to enable us to continue the work we do in the county.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Thank you for your support – and wish us luck on race day!

can you help us continue our vital work in Gloucestershire?

Often perceived as a wealthy county, Gloucestershire is also home to some of the poorest communities in the country, both in our urban and rural communities.

The need for urgent help in Gloucestershire simply isn’t being met. We are desperate to help those in need, with our knowledge and connections in the county, we will ensure support gets to where it is most needed -but to continue doing this we need your help!

Please do support our amazing trustees and staff by donating directly on their fundraising profile, or you can make a donation by entering an amount in the box on the right hand side.
