Dear Harry Garratt Community

,

We’re excited to share details of our latest fundraiser for the Harry Garratt Foundation, and this one is not for the faint-hearted.

On Saturday 28th March, our supporters will be taking on the Stadium Walk: an epic 30+ mile walk across London in a single day, visiting some of the capital’s most iconic football grounds, all in support of the vital work of the Harry Garratt Foundation.

🏟️ The Challenge

From west to north London, the route links together major football stadiums, combining endurance, teamwork and plenty of community spirit.

The walk begins at Craven Cottage early in the morning and finishes at the Emirates Stadium in the early evening, covering approximately 30–32 miles in total.

The walk will run from around 7:00am to 5:55pm, with short rest stops at each stadium and planned refreshment breaks along the way.

Celebrating Harry’s Legacy: Upcoming Events and Milestones an update from the Foundation

As we move into autumn, we’re proud to share a series of events and milestones that continue to honour Harry’s memory and support the mission of the Harry Garratt Foundation.

A Heartfelt Thank You to LGT – £5.1K Raised for the Harry Garratt Foundation!

On September 24th, we were deeply honoured to be the chosen beneficiary of LGT’s annual football tournament, where 100% of the proceeds were generously dedicated to the Harry Garratt Foundation.

This incredible gesture from Harry’s former company means the world to us. Their commitment to supporting our mission of breaking barriers and helping young people participate in sport is a powerful tribute to Harry’s legacy and the values he stood for.

The event was a huge success, bringing together teams, supporters, and community spirit in full force. Thanks to everyone involved, a whopping £5,100 was raised, funds that will go directly toward creating opportunities for young people to access sport, regardless of their background or circumstances.

We are truly grateful to LGT and everyone who played a part in making this day so special. Your support helps us continue to make a real difference.

 

One Year Anniversary – October 18th

It’s hard to believe it’s nearly a year since the Harry Garratt Foundation became a registered charity. In that time, we’ve achieved so much together from completing three peak challenges and marathons to hosting football tournaments and officially launching the charity. This milestone is a testament to the passion and dedication of our community, and we’re excited for what’s to come. It’s also important to take a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come, while acknowledging the meaningful work that still lies ahead.

 

Community Celebration – November 1st

On Harry’s birthday, we’ll be hosting a community event to celebrate his life and the impact of the foundation. It will be a day of remembrance, connection, and celebration.

Join us at The Thornhill Arms, N1 9RD on Saturday November 1st from 7pm till late for an evening of remembrance, connection, and celebration.

This year’s event lands on Halloween weekend so make sure you dress to impress, as the best costume will receive an amazing prize!

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your continued support means the world to us and helps keep Harry’s spirit alive in everything we do and support the foundations mission in empowering young people accessing sport.

With sincere gratitude,
The Harry Garratt Foundation Team
