At FDRY, we’ve always believed in the power of community and the importance of giving back. That’s why we’re thrilled to continue our work with Depaul UK, a remarkable charity committed to tackling homelessness and providing young people with the tools and opportunities to build brighter futures.
This year, we’re stepping up our support in big and meaningful ways. From running half marathons to volunteering at soup kitchens, our team is coming together to make an impact. It’s not just about raising funds; it’s about raising awareness and standing in solidarity with young people facing the challenges of homelessness. Here’s what we have planned for the months ahead and how you can join us in creating lasting change.
FDRY Weighted Walk
📍 5th February 2025
Homelessness is an ongoing struggle, and to raise awareness of this daily battle, we’re hosting the FDRY Weighted Walk. On 5th February, our team will walk a half marathon around Central London, carrying weighted rucksacks to symbolise the burdens young people experiencing homelessness face. Every step of this journey will raise funds for essential services like housing, counselling, and education provided by Depaul UK. Together, we’re walking to lighten their load and bring hope to their lives.
Ben’s Half Marathon
📍 23rd March 2025
We’re incredibly proud of our colleague, Ben, who will be running the iconic Hampton Court Half Marathon in support of Depaul UK. Ben’s dedication and passion for helping young people are truly inspiring. His training is well underway, and we can’t wait to cheer him on as he takes on this challenge to make a meaningful difference.
Emmy’s Half Marathon
📍 6th April 2025
Joining the cause is Emmy, who will be taking part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon. Emmy’s drive to raise awareness about homelessness and her unwavering support for Depaul UK motivate us all. We’re excited to follow her journey and celebrate her success as she crosses the finish line for this incredible cause.
FDRY Soup Kitchen
📍 May 2025
Actions speak louder than words, which is why our team will be volunteering at a Soup Kitchen in collaboration with Depaul UK. On 6th May, we’ll be serving warm meals and sharing warm smiles with those in need. It’s a small but powerful way to reinforce our commitment to compassion and community care.
Supporting Depaul UK: a partnership for the future
Our collaboration with Depaul UK is about more than just one-off events. It’s about creating a future where every young person has the opportunity to thrive. By fundraising, volunteering, and spreading awareness, we’re helping to prevent homelessness and offer brighter futures to those who need it most.
Together, we’re building hope one step at a time. We’re proud to stand with Depaul UK, and we’re excited to see the impact we can make together.
Join us in making a difference
We invite you to be a part of this journey. Whether it’s cheering on our runners, contributing to our fundraising efforts, or volunteering alongside us, every action helps. Let’s come together to create a brighter future for young people experiencing homelessness.
