Kicking Loneliness into Touch
Donation protected
Overview
Thousands of community clubs are shutting down across the country. They shut down because of a lack of money, lack of volunteers and too much red tape. Community clubs are essential. For every £100 raised we can help a community club or project with their 'red tape', their communications and manage their data safely for a whole year for free.
A major study has found that loneliness is a greater health threat than obesity and loneliness increases mortality rates by 30%.* People want to belong somewhere.
Exciting tech start up RunAClub wants to boost club numbers by giving them our innovative ‘club in a cloud’ software programme that takes care of the worrying red tape, so club leaders can get on with the good stuff – running the club. Help us to grow stronger communities, encourage volunteers to share the work and help clubs stay open. We want to change the world together.

Who we are
I’m Sally Higham, people tell me I’m a tech entrepreneur but really, I’m an expert in working with community groups and helping them to survive and grow.
Anyone should be able to run any type of club or group and share that responsibility. This campaign is aiming to raise £20k to support hundreds of clubs to use the RunAClub software and get the support they need to grow their project or club.
We all want to provide safe places for young people and adults to have fun and experience new opportunities. The chance to develop new skills, improve quality of life, and raise aspirations. RunAClub helps by managing the red tape via clever software, while activities go on.
You can help communities, boost club numbers for everyone and help stop abuse at clubs. Regulate the administration to keep children, volunteers and vulnerable people safe.
