Interfaith fun run aims to raise money for cross-communal charities
Participants are needed for the London Interfaith Fun Run, with routes of 1km, 5km or 10 km, to raise money for charity.
Hundreds of people from all walks of life are set to attend an inter-faith fun run later this month to raise money for over 30 charities working across religious communities.
The London Interfaith Fun Run, taking place on 9am-3pm on Monday, 30 August at the Stone X stadium in Barnet, is being organised by the Faith and Belief Forum and Maccabi GB.
It is being supported by Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London’s Council on Faith, and Dangoor Education.
“With their annual Community Fun Run, Maccabi GB have developed an amazing event that engages the whole community of all ages and backgrounds,” said philanthropist David Dangoor.
“The Lord Lieutenant of Greater London’s Council on Faith, which I have the privilege to chair, has brought together Maccabi GB and the Faith and Belief Forum to create a special event.
“We hope it will inspire many of those who form the beautiful social tapestry of our great capital city, be they young or old, whatever their ethnic group or faith to join together in strengthening the bonds that can help make London a strong and welcoming community of diversity.”
Participants can walk or run 1km, 5km or 10 km routes, and money will be raised for charities such as Faiths for the Climate, Humanists UK, Stand Up! Education against Discrimination, CitySikhs, among others.
The event also promises a food court and an interfaith ‘fun zone’ to provide a “summer festival vibe.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
