LCR In a Day Charity Run

/in , /by

We’re proud to announce a bold and inspiring fundraising challenge led by our CEO, Colin Sinclair, who will run 50 miles across all six boroughs of the Liverpool City Region in just one day.

Taking place on Friday, 5 September 2025, the run aims to raise vital funds for six incredible local charities, each one making a real difference in its community.

Our chosen charities are:

  • Home-Start UK, Knowsley – Supports struggling families that are having difficulties across the borough.
  • Ykids Limited, Sefton – Children’s charity making a difference to the lives of children and young people in Bootle.
  • Stick ‘n’ Step, Halton – Enabling, inspiring and supporting children with cerebral palsy and their families.
  • Centre 56, Liverpool – A domestic abuse nursery, supporting families who have experienced abuse or who are in crisis.
  • St Helens Young Carers, St Helens – Supporting young carers across the borough to help reduce the negative impact of their caring role.
  • Claire House Children’s Hospice, Wirral – Helping seriously and terminally ill children make the most of the time they have however long or short that may be.

This ambitious effort is a natural extension of KQ Liverpool’s mission to drive inclusive innovation and improve lives across the City Region. As the force behind the KQ Futures programme, funded by the Liverpool City Region Innovation Zone, part of the UK Government’s Investment Zone programme, KQ Liverpool is already creating opportunities and raising aspirations for children and young people across the region.

Now, Colin Sinclair is taking that commitment a step further. The “LCR in a Day” challenge will see him cover 50 miles in a single day, crossing all six boroughs and raising funds for charities that provide life-changing support across the region.

The initiative is a call to action for the entire Liverpool City Region to rally behind a shared mission of impact and community. Everyone is invited to get involved, whether by making a donation, contributing a raffle prize, or spreading the word across social and professional networks. Donations can be made via the LCR In a Day Give Wheel donation page, and every pound raised will go directly to the charities.

With just six weeks to train, Colin is embracing the challenge wholeheartedly and counting on the support of the region to help make a meaningful difference. A detailed route map will be released soon on KQ Liverpool’s social media channels, where updates and progress will also be shared in the lead-up to the event.
