Why run for Cambridge Acorn Project?
When you choose Team Acorn, you're supporting children and families right here in your local community.
Every pound you raise helps us provide specialist therapeutic support to those who need it most, helping create the conditions for children to flourish and have a fair chance in life.
As a small local charity, your fundraising goes directly towards making a difference close to home in Cambridge and across the county.
What do I need to raise?
To secure your place, we ask runners to:
Pay a £60 registration fee
Commit to raising £350 in sponsorship
The £60 registration fee is deducted from your £350 fundraising target, meaning you will aim to raise a further £290 in sponsorship.
As a small charity, we purchase places in the event upfront, so this helps ensure every place taken generates valuable income to support our work.
