What does the Vhi Women's Mini Marathon mean for your charity?

Childline by ISPCC needs to raise up to 70% of its funding through donations each year to ensure we can be there to support children and young people. We rely heavily on the generosity of the public, to keep our service alive.

Please join #TeamChildline by running or walking in the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon 2025 (VHIWMM) in aid of Childline by ISPCC. Our supportive community team will be there every step of the way to help you reach your physical and fundraising goals. ilies.
