Message from Alex Smallman, our Honorary head of Fundraising

Would you run the Brighton Half Marathon for us?

The Brighton Half Marathon is the Trust’s main annual fundraiser for the Brighter Futures Fund which pays the university fees of Kovalam’s young people. 

On Sunday 28th February 2027, we’re building our biggest ever Venkat Trust team, and we’d absolutely love you to be part of it.

We’re also looking to connect with small, medium and large businesses who might like to enter a team of runners for the charity.

If your workplace has a wellbeing programme, charity committee, running club or simply a group of people who love a challenge, we’d love an introduction. We’d be delighted to come and share the story of The Venkat Trust and the many ways businesses can get involved.

If you’d like to run, know someone who would, or can open a door for us, I’d absolutely love to hear from you at alex@venkattrust.org.uk

Let’s make 2027 our biggest team yet. 🧡

With huge thanks.

Alex
