Ykids are proud to be the headline charity partner for Stanley Park 5k & 10k. Join Ykids at the start line, and together we’ll make a difference to the lives of young people in Bootle.

Ykids exist to bring hope to at-risk and vulnerable young people and families in Bootle, one of the most deprived communities in the UK. But where others see hardship, we see potential. We see World Changers.

When you run with us, you help ensure that young people in Bootle grow up feeling safe, loved, and genuinely excited about their future, with the resilience, skills, and belief in themselves to change their world.

When you run your race with us, the money you raise will support things like:

  • Helping young people build emotional resilience, develop real plans for their lives, and gain the skills to make those plans a reality.
  • Ensure children and young people have access to after-school projects and one-to-one mentoring.
  • Inspiring young people to step up and act in their own community and to be the change they want to see.
  • Working alongside families, schools and decision-makers to create an environment where young people don’t just survive but truly thrive.

Sign up now to take on the Stanley Park 5k & 10k with Ykids, or use your own place to run with us, and you’ll be helping to change the lives of young people right here in Merseyside.

When you join the Ykids team, you will receive:

  • A Ykids running vest to wear with pride on the day.
  • Support every step of the way from our friendly team.
  • Post-run celebration in the event village

If you have any questions, contact Matt at [email protected], and we will be more than happy to help. Or visit our website Ykids.co.uk to find out more about us. 

We can’t wait to see you on the starting line!
