Martin’s Final Lap: Running for Change
Our Chief Executive Martin Blakebrough is retiring after 27 years at Kaleidoscope – but he’s not going quietly.
Martin is planning a 180-mile run from Heswall to Newport, retracing the journey of his career and the many life-changing services he’s helped build along the way.
More Than Just a Farewell Run
This incredible challenge is a fundraiser to support mobile harm reduction services in rural Wales, helping us reach individuals and communities who often struggle to access support.
After witnessing Martin’s dedication to our cause for nearly three decades, we’re asking you to join us in making this final lap truly meaningful.
