Charlotte Goes the Distance for Children’s Charity Adoption Matters
Charlotte Daly of Wigan-based Adoption Matters takes on running challenge to help children's charity. She's completed Chester 10k and Wirral Half Marathon.
A dedicated member of Wigan-based children's charity Adoption Matters, is taking on a remarkable fund-raising challenge to support the charity’s life‑changing work with children and families.
Charlotte Daly, who joined the organisation in 2021 as an inquiry adviser, now works as a social work assistant working closely with families who want to adopt.
She has marked 2026 as her year of personal growth - after only taking up running in December 2025, she has already completed the Chester 10k and her first ever half marathon – the Wirral Half – and is now using her achievements to raise vital funds for the charity she has proudly served for more than five years.
On Sunday September 20 Charlotte will represent Adoption Matters at the Warrington Running Festival, taking on her next Half Marathon challenge.
She said: “Adoption Matters, a leading children’s charity and adoption agency, provides specialist support to adoptive families and children across the North West, Yorkshire, Stoke, Staffordshire and parts of the North East and the Midlands.
“My fund-raising will help the charity to offer more therapeutic services, family support, and guidance to those navigating the adoption journey.”
Charlotte has launched her fund-raising page and is encouraging supporters to donate whatever they can to help her reach her target.
