Sorry if this is not in the right place, but I wasn't sure where it should be. Feel free to move it if you need to.
I am about to sign up for my first 10K run in Sept and thinking that I would like to raise some money for charity. I would like to raise money for a local small charity preferably to do with children (possibly disabled children), but I dont know where to look for one. Ive not lived in my area very long so where can I start to look?
Thanks

Try yorkshire charity Kidz Foundation (note the Z in Kidz) they offer grants to families who have sick or disabled children.
Cant post a link, but they come up first on a google search. They are based in Halifax.0 -
Have you tried the advanced search facility on the charity commission's website, you can filter by area, activities and who the charities help.0
