Fancy joining #TeamAPP and taking on a challenge to raise vital funds?
We've partnered with RunforCharity to enable our supporters to gain access to hundreds of events all over the country (and even overseas). Whether you're looking for a tough ultra-marathon, a gentle 10k, a triathlon, a bike ride, a family-friendly fun run, a challenging obstacle race or even a bungee jump - there's something for everyone.
Whatever you choose, we'll be behind you all the way, supporting you to reach your fundraising target and achieve your goals.
Below are just a few of the events we have access to. If nothing here takes your fancy, or you'd like to find an event closer to you, the full list of all events and activities on the RunforCharity website is here.
2025 Events
Santa in the City
Your family friendly Santa Run will begin at 7:00 pm on 3rd or 4th December. The 4.5km route starting in Paternoster Square just by the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral. You will then run along the North bank where there will be fantastic river views, before crossing the Thames via Southwark bridge. The route will then take you along the Thames path past Shakespeare’s Globe and then heading towards Tate Modern, where you will cross the river once again, this time over the Millennium bridge. You will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the beautifully lit St Paul's Cathedral, before finally returning to Paternoster Square, completing a truly iconic route! No previous experience is needed for a run like this, and with a minimum age of 8, this is one the whole family can get involved in!
The route is relatively flat and you can run, jog or walk. Santa in the City is a great way to get you into the festive spirit! Sign up here.

How do I raise funds before my event takes place?
We're here to support you with your fundraising - you're not alone! We can provide you with free fundraising materials including t-shirts, running vests, balloons, info leaflets, collection boxes and can help with ideas and inspiration as well as moral support.
JustGiving is an easy to use online, secure platform that enables you to raise money ahead of your event. Most of the events listed above usually have minimum fundraising targets (generally around £300-350 but it varies depending on the event) - add your target to your JustGiving page and write a short paragraph about why you are raising money and what APP does. You can add photos of yourself if you want, and share updates of how your planning and training are going. Then share your page with friends and family, on social media, at work and anywhere else you can think of. Supporters can leave you a message along with their donation and many fundraisers find these really inspiring.
If you have lived experience of PP and are comfortable doing so, you may wish to share your story as part of your fundraising. This can help people understand more about PP and how important APP is in providing information, raising awareness and offering peer support to PP mums and families all over the UK. If you would like support to share your story, let us know via fundraising@app-network.org.
The APP team can give you lots of tips and support with your fundraising too - just get in touch.
If you'd like us to, we can also help you tell others what you're doing by featuring it on our fundraising news page, in our newsletter and on our APP social media platforms.
