Every November in Leicester, a muddy, antler-filled charity run brings together over 150 people to support an incredible cause: Wishes 4 Kids.
Here at Barlow Blinds, we’re proud to be part of that day and even prouder of what it means for our community.
About Wishes 4 Kids: A Leicester Children's Charity
Wishes 4 Kids is a local Leicester charity that grants memory making experiences to children living with life-threatening illnesses, life-limiting conditions, or severe disabilities.
Whether it’s a magical day out, a dream come true, or meeting a hero, these experiences bring joy, relief, and unforgettable memories to families going through the unthinkable.
Why Barlow Blinds Supports This Leicester Charity
As a family-run business serving Leicester for over a century, supporting our community isn’t just a value it’s who we are.
And our partnership with Wishes 4 Kids goes deeper than a one-time donation. Every month, we contribute but here’s the part most people don’t see:
Our donations come directly from customer trust.
Every time someone chooses Barlow Blinds, leaves a Google review, or recommends us to a friend, it helps our business grow. And because of that, it enables us to pay it forward more often, and more meaningfully.
So yes your review doesn’t just help our reputation. It helps grant a child’s wish.
Leicester’s Annual Charity Fun Run: A Day to Remember
This year’s run had everything a festive charity event should:
- muddy trainers and red noses
- families walking side by side
- kids in buggies, laughing in the cold
- a crowd of Rudolph antlers
- and Santa himself, cheering everyone on
Whether people ran, walked, or shuffled through the mud, every step raised money for Wishes 4 Kids and every smile helped show what Leicester is made of.
Looking Ahead: Join Us Next Year
We crossed the finish line grinning, and already talking about next December.
This event wasn’t about medals or personal bests. It was about showing up for local children who need hope and happiness and doing it together.
So if you’ve ever supported us by choosing Barlow Blinds, sharing a review, or telling a friend thank you. You’ve helped make this possible.
Same time next year? We’ll be there. Red noses and all.
