Atticus Partners Chooses Building for the Future as Charity Partner and Takes on Reading Half Marathon Challenge

We are delighted to announce that communications consultancy Atticus Partners has chosen Building for the Future as its charity partner for the next six months.

To kick-off the partnership, members of the Atticus Partners team will take part in the Reading Half Marathon, raising funds to support Building for the Future’s new play therapy centre and sensory garden at Thames Valley Park.

Funds raised will help the charity continue to provide a safe, inclusive environment where more children and young adults can access therapeutic play, build confidence, develop communication skills and simply be themselves in a new and larger bespoke, accessible and inclusive facility.

Atticus Partners’ fundraising efforts will also go towards an extended programme of activities at the new centre, enabling more families to access specialist support and therapy services.

Jane Holmes, CEO of Building for the Future, said:

“Being chosen as Atticus Partners’ charity partner is a wonderful boost for Building for the Future.

"Partnerships like this make a real difference, helping us continue to provide life-changing play therapy and support for disabled children and their families.

"We’re incredibly grateful to the Atticus team for taking on the Reading Half Marathon and championing our work. Their support will help ensure that more children can access the safe, supportive and joyful environment our centre provides.”

Leon Cook, Founder of Atticus Partners, said: “I’m incredibly proud to be taking on the Reading Half Marathon alongside friends and supporters of Building for the Future. Having spent time with the team and seen first-hand the impact of their work, it’s clear just how vital their services are for children and families.

“This is about more than just a run, it’s about coming together to support a charity that is making a genuine difference every single day. I’m delighted that Atticus is backing Building for the Future, and I’m looking forward to playing my part in raising both funds and awareness for such an important cause.”

Over the coming months, Atticus Partners will support the charity through fundraising, awareness raising and community engagement activities.

Building for the Future hopes the partnership will help shine a light on the importance of inclusive play and the impact that specialist play therapy can have on children’s lives.
