The Stage & The Bookseller charity run 2026

Team members at The Stage and The Bookseller are once again lacing up their trainers to raise money for two brilliant charities.

The Stage is fundraising for Get Into Theatre, which promotes access to the sector for young people. Find out more here: https://getintotheatre.org

The Bookseller's chosen cause is The Book Trade Charity (BTBS), which provides grants to people working in the book trade and their families when they are facing hardship. Find out more here: https://btbs.org

All donations will make a difference, and the money raised will be split equally between the two charities.

Team members across both publications will be running either 5k or 10k on April 19th as part of the Crystal RunThrough event.

Those taking part include:

Alistair Smith (managing director, The Stage Media Company)
Athene Moody (office co-ordinator, The Bookseller and The Stage)
Celine Bijleveld (deputy production editor, The Stage)
Christopher Porter (accounts manager, The Stage)
