Crisis
A run started by the sector, for the sector.
Together for Homes started in 2025: Stairpay, our partners, and the people who build, finance, and run shared ownership showed up for one morning in Battersea Park to raise money for homelessness in the UK. 500 runners from 35 companies turned up, and we raised £50,000 for Crisis.
The 2026 run is the second iteration, in collaboration with Crisis — the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. Every pound raised goes to their year-round services helping people out of homelessness, from emergency support to long-term housing, education, and employment programmes.
Donate or fundraise as a team
Donate directly through our JustGiving campaign, or start your own fundraising page and rally colleagues across your organisation. Every page rolls into the campaign total — and every pound goes to Crisis.

Every pound raised in 2025 went directly to Crisis, funding year-round services that help people out of homelessness in the UK — from emergency support to long-term housing, education, and employment.
What’s changed in 2026.
More runners.
We're opening up more places this year. 500 turned out in 2025 — we want to beat that handily and put more pounds into Crisis's hands.
More pizza.
Last year's pizza queue went around the park. This year we're bringing a second oven so nobody has to choose between a personal best and a slice.
More music.
A live set on the start line, a DJ at the finish, and a longer post-race programme so the morning carries on properly.
Crisis is the reason this run exists.
Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness in the UK. Everything we raise on race day goes to them — they are the beneficiary of Together for Homes, full stop.
Crisis offers year-round, one-to-one support to people trapped in homelessness — through their Skylight centres across the UK they help with housing, mental and physical health, learning, employment, and benefits.
They also campaign for the policy changes that would end homelessness for good: more genuinely affordable homes, a housing benefit system that actually covers rents, and a homelessness response that meets people early instead of when they’re already on the street.
We work in housing every day. Crisis is who we run for because the people they serve are the people the housing system has failed. Our £50,000 in 2025 was a start. We want to make 2026 considerably bigger.
