Why run for Revitalise?

30% of people with mobility issues say that they are always or often lonely. On top of that, 3 in 5 of us will become carers at some point in our lives. Our mission is simple — to make sure disabled people and their carers have access to the proper breaks that they deserve.

Time away is an essential part of being well and nurturing healthy relationships. Too long without a break can put the relationships of disabled people and their carers into crisis. Those who stay with us are no longer cared for and carer, but one human being and another. Everyone needs valuable time away — it’s not just a luxury, but essential to sustaining a good caring relationship.

By fundraising for Revitalise, here are some of the things you will help provide:

• Emergency respite breaks with 24-hour expert care support for our guests
• Funding for disabled people and their carers who cannot afford the cost of a break
• Exciting excursions and activities for our guests to enjoy

Fundraising target

For organised events, our supporters work towards set fundraising targets. When you create your own event or take on a different fundraising challenge, you set your own target. This can be as ambitious as you like — all donations are appreciated and we’ll be cheering you on!
