Our 2026 charity partners
We’re so pleased to have Single Homeless Project as our Headline Charity Partner for Hackney Half 2026!
Single Homeless Project were founded in 1975 when a group of six homeless men in London teamed up to create the change they wanted to see - an end to rough sleeping and a city where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.
Today, we are the largest homeless charity dedicated to helping Londoners in crisis. Every year, we help over 10,000 people to leave homelessness behind, to be seen, to be heard, and find a place to call home.
Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity, working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today and hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.
Until no childhood is lost to serious illness, we’re here to help give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.
Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health on a global scale, focusing on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

They want to bring about positive change, through accelerating progress in diagnosis, treatment, and care for those living with leukaemia today and for everyone diagnosed tomorrow and in the future.
