BA Life likes to support good causes, and each year we choose a charity...
Last year, it was the wonderful children's mental wellbeing charity, Place2Be. This year it is Carers Trust and once again, our CEO, Linda Parker, will be running the Edinburgh Half Marathon to raise funds for this special charity.
Carers Trust | Transforming the lives of carers
Carers Trust is dedicated to improving the wellbeing of those who provide unpaid care to family members and friends. Through collaboration with local carer organisations across its network, the charity offers financial assistance, delivers research-backed initiatives, and advocates for policy changes that benefit unpaid carers.
The organisation aims to ensure that carers receive recognition and practical support, helping them access the guidance and resources they need to maintain their own quality of life.
Raise funds for Carers Trust | Sponsor Linda's half marathon
Linda Parker, our CEO, has been a keen runner for a few years now, having run several half-marathons and a number of 10K races. Her running is not a competitive thing, instead it's about fitness and health ...but running for a great cause has always added that extra motivation.
The Edinburgh Half Marathon takes place on Sunday, 24th May 2026, and closer to the time, we'll publish details explaining how you can help Linda raise funds!
