Run The World was part of the programme portfolio I developed through The Youth Company, bringing youth, sports and culture together with public and private partners.

My contribution

Developed sponsor and institutional relationships and led the organisation’s staff and volunteer teams behind youth programmes, including Run The World.

Beyond the festival: relief delivery

After Run The World 2013, I joined The Youth Company’s delegation to the Philippines to help deliver donations collected through the festival, working with Qatar Charity and local partners. Gulf Times reported that the delegation delivered more than two tonnes of clothing, supplies and donated materials.
