26 miles. 15,000 futures. Step up to the challenge

This June the Roundhouse team will be trekking a marathon in the Chiltern Hills to raise funds for our vital youth programme. 

Over the last 15 years, two-thirds of council-run youth centres in England and Wales have closed. Meanwhile, Roundhouse has continued to champion young people, providing an essential creative space where they can learn, grow, and thrive. Through our industry connections, we’ve helped young creatives launch careers, win awards, make films, and build businesses — and we want to do even more, but we need your help. 

In 2024, we worked with 10,000 young people, but we want to grow that to 15,000. Every step we take on our 26 mile trek will be to support our mission to raise the creative potential of the UK. 

Leading the team we have Marcus, our Chief Executive & Artistic Director, alongside two of our young trustees, Toni and Roshan, as well as Funmi, the iconic Members’ Bar host.

“I always love taking part in our annual challenge events, where supporters from across the whole roundhouse family can come together for a single day to raise funds and in doing so have a huge impact on the futures of thousands of young people. I hope that those of you not able to attend this year, will support our efforts so that many more young creatives will get the opportunities they need to learn skills, gain experience and develop pathways into work.” Marcus

“Since joining the Roundhouse as a young trustee, I’ve been so excited to have the opportunity to advocate for the South Asian diaspora and contribute to Roundhouse’s overall mission. I’m thrilled to be walking with Toni, Marcus and the Roundhouse team on 7 June, even though a marathon walk wasn’t in the job description of ‘Trustee’!” Roshan

“I strongly believe that when creativity is made more accessible it has the power to uplift people and drive positive social change – that’s what led me to become a young trustee. I’ll be thinking of all the incredible creative opportunities that the Roundhouse is able to provide, thanks to people donating to this trek, on the 25th mile!” Toni
