Charitable Initiatives

London Marathon

Charity runs have become one of the most effective and enduring fundraising formats around, and for good reason — they combine personal challenge, community spirit and social visibility in a way that very few other events can match.

At Rehabilitate Therapy, we recognise the real value these events bring, both to the participants themselves and to the charities closest to our hearts. We sponsor members of our team in runs across the country, supporting them through their training journeys and sharing their stories with our wider network — drawing in donors who want to be part of something meaningful. The way we approach this matters: by building a narrative around each challenge, we help the charity gain not just funds, but visibility that can translate into future donors, volunteers and long-term supporters.

Recently our Business Director, Phil Crowther, took on the 2026 London Marathon in aid of Headway Derby. We followed his training journey on social media, weaving in the story of the charity he was running for — because understanding who benefits from every pound raised is what turns a passive donation into a genuine connection.

Headway Derby supports anyone affected by brain injury across Derby and Derbyshire, offering community rehabilitation services for survivors, families and carers alike. As a small charity, their road has not always been smooth — they have faced funding losses, service closures, staff reductions and the upheaval of relocating premises. They rely heavily on fundraising efforts like Phil's to keep their services running for the people who need them most.
