Find Your Feet is proud of its 10k running teams. Last year a team of 22 ran their way round London and raised a fantastic £5,287.43 for our important work.

The support of our runners has, for example, enabled us to continue working with 1,500 Adivasi women in Jharkhand, India. As a result they have improved their food security, gained access to proper health care and developed the confidence to make sure their voices are heard at a local and national level.
