What a weekend! We had the pleasure of cheering on our 4 incredible London marathon runners!

Not only did they smash the 26.2 miles challenge, but they also raised over 11k for Certitude and the many community activities we host across London.

From creative arts sessions and wellbeing workshops to community meetups and skill building groups, these activities give people real opportunities to connect with friends and try new skills.

If you are interested in taking part in one of many fundraising opportunities, including the 2027 Brighton marathon, sign up to our fundraising newsletter!

Cheer on our London Marathon Runners!

This Sunday, will be out in full force to cheer on our incredible runners taking part in the London Marathon.

Watching our runners balance their professional lives with months of training for 26.2 miles has been nothing short of inspiring. We couldn’t be prouder to see them represent us and the people we support!

We’ll be stationed at Horse Guard Parade: Point M with banners, cheers, and probably a few tears of pride. If you’re out on the day, come cheer with us!

This World Earth Day we’re sharing a few of our environmental goals!

Our soon to be launched environmental plan will help ensure we’re reducing not only our impact on the environment, but also lowering our carbon footprint.

Actions to support these aims don’t have to complicated. Simple things like ensuring we have regular maintenance checks, use the latest and most efficient equipment where possible and work with suppliers who use more renewable sources.

To ensure we have a brighter and healthier future, it’s down to us to make the relevant steps for change!

Let us know in the comments, what you’re changing for a better future!

The countdown is on! In just a few weeks, we have 4 incredible runners hitting the pavements of London as they take on the challenging 26.2 miles run at this year’s London Marathon.

Training for a marathon is a massive undertaking, from early morning runs, blisters and an unbelievable amount of mental fortitude. But our runners aren’t just aiming for the finish line, they are also running to support people here at Certitude!

We’re so proud to support their journey and hope you’ll join us in doing so! Every pound counts. Whether it’s the cost of a coffee or a larger contribution, your support will help us support others.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day – a moment to celebrate autistic people and champion acceptance, inclusion, and equality.

We are proud to work alongside autistic people and their families, supporting people to take the lead in their own lives.

Ramesh, who we support in Bexley, loves planning meals, shopping for ingredients, and experimenting in the kitchen. He also enjoys getting out and about - from trips to central London to volunteering with the Kings Trust.

Awareness days like today are vital in shining a light on the experiences, strengths, and leadership of autistic people. The day also encourages us all to keep building communities where everyone is understood, valued, and supported to flourish.
