Story

Hi everyone, 

I'm Clive and I'm running the 2026 TCS London Marathon on Sunday 26th April, to raise money for St George's Childcare.

Having ran a half marathon in Kuala Lumpur and then two half marathons during the 2020 lockdowns I've always thought one day I'd like to complete a full marathon. It was when we went up to London a few years ago to cheer on some friends participating in the London marathon, experiencing the general atmosphere and positivity of the event, that made me think running the London marathon would be the most amazing experience. Having then applied in the ballot each year (and subsequently been rejected each year) I was overjoyed to have been picked to run for St George's Childcare in the 2026 London Marathon.

Our daughter Amelia has attended St George's since September 2024 and has not only grown and learnt various skills during her day to day attendance but also absolutely loves every day that she attends. I'm sure that having the knowledge that the money raised will enable St George's to purchase toys and equipment, to make necessary building improvements and will help other babies, toddlers, and children who wouldn't ordinarily be able to attend St George's (or nursery in general) to share in this joy, will be instrumental in pushing me towards the finish line. I feel privileged to be able to not only finally run the London marathon, but also to be able to raise money in order to give other children a similar experience to what Amelia experiences.

If you can sponsor me, please donate using the button below.

*My employer Deucalion Aviation Limited will also be donating £1,000 to this fundraiser, and all donations made by Deucalion Aviation Limited employees will be match funded by Deucalion Aviation Limited, meaning for every £10 donated, St George's will receive £20.

St George's Childcare

St George's Childcare is an independent nursery, preschool, and out-of-hours school club, based in a converted Victorian house, in Tunbridge Wells. We provide personable, heartfelt, and expert childcare to over 250 children from 3 months old, up to 11 years old. We are proud to be able to offer this level of childcare to everyone, no matter their background or circumstances. 

We are the only nursery locally that is a charity; this enables us to put the children first in all our decision making, to charge parents a fair price for childcare and to reinvest any surplus into improving the setting for the benefit of all of the children. St George's also provide subsidised, sometimes completely free, places for children who are in vulnerable circumstances, all paid for by our community fundraising activities. Where funding allows we also provide one to one support for our SEND children, to ensure they have all their needs met while they're at the setting. We work closely with social services, health visitors and the women’s refuge to support children who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford nursery education. Many children come to us from unstable homes where parents are dealing with difficult issues. While the children are in our care, their families have the time and space to get the help they need to move on in their lives.
