We have one space available for this year’s Brighton Marathon, taking place on Sunday 6 April. If you are a keen runner who wants to take part in one of the world’s most famous races while raising money for our charity, we want to hear from you!
Join Stagetext and feel proud about raising awareness for access to arts and culture for the 18 million adults in the UK who are deaf, deafened and hard of hearing. One in three of us rely on subtitles and captions to experience the joy of live theatre, to sing along with our favourite musicals, to take guided tours around museums, or to see our favourite authors speak at festivals
We are asking for your help with fundraising, so together we can make the arts a more welcoming and accessible place.

“Running the London Marathon for Stagetext was an incredible experience. Knowing that every mile helped make the arts more accessible gave me the motivation to keep going. The support from the team was amazing, and seeing the direct impact of my fundraising made it all worthwhile.” – Sol, 2022 Marathon Runner.
