The Children’s Society…

Santa in the City has helped charities raise thousands of pounds over the last 10 years and only wants to continue this.

In 2026, in partnership with our Event Sponsor, labb, and NETbuilder, we are proud to announce that our lead charity partner is The Children’s Society.

At The Children’s Society, we work every day to create a society where every young person feels safe, supported, and hopeful about their future.

We are delighted that labb has chosen to support our work through this year’s Santa Fun Run, helping to raise essential funds for children and teenagers facing some of the toughest challenges of modern life.

Across the UK, too many young people are struggling alone. Some are coping with poor mental health, navigating complex care systems, facing exploitation, or arriving in the country without family support.

Supporting vulnerable young people

By joining labb for this festive, feel-good event, you’re not just taking part in a fun challenge; you’re helping The Children’s Society continue its essential work supporting vulnerable young people across the country.

Thank you for standing with us. Your kindness and commitment help ensure that more young people receive the safety, support, and hope they deserve. With your generosity, this year’s Santa Fun Run can create an even greater impact for children across the UK.

Alongside our frontline work, we drive national change through powerful campaigns. Our award-winning #LookCloser campaign helps communities understand and recognise the signs of child exploitation, empowering people to play an active role in keeping children safe.

We’re honoured that labb is supporting our mission through the Santa Fun Run, and we are grateful to every participant who chooses to run, fundraise, and make a difference.
