Runforever was founded as a non-profit organisation in March 2023 and became a SCIO in August 2024. It promotes educational projects based on marathon running and the Feldenkrais method (awareness through movement) for humanising health care within prison environment and the community towards a future society fostering difference and variation including addressing issues of reoffending and stigmatisation. It offers small beautiful actions participating in wider systemic change. Runforever began a collaboration with HMP Grampian in February 2023 helping set up a running club and more recently (May 2024) a Feldenkrais group welcoming participants from inside and outside, to address underlying health inequalities, inequities and stigmatisation which affect the prisoner population in Scotland. These activities aim to tackle the underlying causes of reoffending by fostering a community of support which works as a bridge between inside and outside the prison.
Objectives: The organisation's purposes are to: a) Promote health and well-being by humanising prison care and more generally health care (Humanising Health Care, Margaret Hannah, IFF - 2014) towards an inclusive future society fostering difference and variation, including by addressing issues of reoffending and stigmatization. b) Promote running, including marathons and park runs in Scottish prisons and the wider society thereby improving both individual fitness and resilience as well as social interaction between diverse groups. c) Provide educational and research opportunities and propose community projects fostering individual and social transformation, including through offering the Feldenkrais method® as an educational practice of awareness.
