10 Years of Impact. 10 Mates in Mind Places. One Incredible Challenge.

In 2027, Mates in Mind celebrates its 10th anniversary.

For the past decade, we’ve worked alongside employers to improve mental health in and through work, helping organisations raise awareness, break down stigma, implement effective evidence-informed interventions and create cultures where people feel supported to speak up.

But the next ten years are about something more.

They’re about moving from awareness to action - equipping workplaces with the knowledge, confidence and practical tools to create lasting change and ensure everyone has the support they need to thrive.

To mark this milestone year, we’re delighted to offer an exclusive opportunity for Mates in Mind Members.

For one year only, we have secured 10 London Marathon places across the marathon weekend, giving our members the chance to take on one of the world’s most iconic challenges while helping shape the future of workplace mental health.

Run as Part of Team Mates in Mind

Whether you’re applying for one of our exclusive charity places or you’ve secured your own ballot place and would like to fundraise for us, we’d love you to be part of our anniversary team.

Every mile you run and every pound you raise will help us continue our vital work: moving organisations from awareness to action.

Why Run for Mates in Mind?

As part of Team Mates in Mind, you’ll receive:

• The opportunity to apply for a charity place, available exclusively to Members.
  
  
• A personalised Mates in Mind running vest.
  
  
• Dedicated fundraising support from our team.
  
  
• Training resources and motivation throughout your journey.
  
  
• Access to our anniversary-year fundraising community.
  
  
• The opportunity to help create mentally healthier workplaces across the UK.

A Once-in-a-Decade Opportunity

With just 10 places available, this is a unique opportunity to be part of both an iconic sporting event and a landmark moment in our charity’s history.

Whether you’re joining us with one of our charity places or fundraising through your own ballot place, you’ll be helping us celebrate everything we’ve achieved over the last decade while supporting the work still to come.

Closing date for applications: 11.59pm, Sunday 9 August 2026.
