We’re incredibly proud of our four amazing supporters who are taking on the Brighton 10K on April 6, 2025, all in support of VYD’s life-changing projects for the disenfranchised and displaced in Brighton.
A massive thank you to Jack Knowles, Katharine Stenning and Fred Sturgis for their dedication and commitment to making a difference!
Why They’re Running for VYD
We asked our Run-draisers why supporting VYD means so much to them:
💙 Katharine Stenning, Learning Mentor, is running to support the VYD Youth Project at Crew Club Hawks, particularly the launch of the club’s new girls’ section.
👉 Support Katharine’s fundraiser here
💙 Fred Sturgis, newly appointed Head of Operations at VYD, is eager to contribute to VYD’s mission through the Away From Home project and ensure that more displaced people have access to free football and vital support.
👉 Support Fred’s fundraiser here
💙 Jack Knowles, entrepreneur and founder of Wellness Onside, is passionate about community well-being and youth support.
Get Involved!
VYD is also hosting ‘Have a Go’ football sessions on the pre-run day April 5th at Preston Park —come and have a go and join in the fun before cheering on our runners the next day.
Many thanks also to funder partner, Enjoolata Foundation, who are match funding what we raise by up to £1,500 which is incredibly generous of them.
We’re wishing Jack, Katharine, and Fred the best of luck – we’ll be there in spirit and cheering at the start and finish line! 🎉🏃♂️💙
