The UK’s poorest children have always had to work harder to keep up with their wealthier peers at school. They don't start with the same chances and the inequality continues throughout childhood. It’s not their fault and it isn’t fair.

We know that when we get the foundations right for disadvantaged pupils – great teachers, brilliant leaders and thriving schools – all young people can have the opportunities they deserve.

• Great teachers - We recruit talented people to become teachers and place them in the schools that need them most.
• Brilliant leaders - We develop strong leaders, so schools can create lasting change at every level.
• Thriving schools - We help schools to build a thriving community, with supportive networks and positive government policy.

All children have big dreams. And together, we can help make them a reality.

Run with us and you’ll get:

• A Teach First technical running vest
• A training plan
• Our fundraising pack full of ideas
• Dedicated support from our Fundraising Events team to prepare for your challenge, help you smash your fundraising target and see you over the finish line
