Fundraising at the London Marathon from the comfort of a pub
Howard Lake | 25 April 2015 | News
The runners in tomorrow’s Virgin Money London Marathon won’t be the only people raising funds for charity. Spare a thought for all those who will chip in as they watch the Marathon from the comfort of a London pub.
According to the London Marathon’s owners, 55 central London pubs are putting on events during the Marathon. Of these, 26 are organising events for a particular charity.
So here is UK Fundraising’s guide to charities and their pubs at the 2015 Virgin London Marathon.
