Bella Richards

2026 Finalist – Fantastic Fundraiser

“When we give to others, we make the world a better place for everyone.”

Their Story

Bella Richards is an inspiring nine-year-old with a big heart and a love of running. Wanting to help others in her community, Bella set herself an ambitious challenge well beyond what most children her age would attempt—running 40 kilometres to raise money for a local charity that supports babies, children, and expectant families in need.

The Achievement

Through determination and commitment, Bella completed her challenge and raised over £1,000. The money she raised is helping provide essential items such as hospital packs, stairgates, and cot mattresses—practical support that makes a real difference to families facing difficult circumstances.

The Impact

ella’s fundraising journey inspired those around her, bringing together friends, family, and the wider community in support of her goal. Her compassion, perseverance, and enthusiasm show how young people can create meaningful change, and her efforts will continue to positively impact the families supported by the charity she fundraised for.
