Alice, who you see above, was murdered by an ex-boyfriend following a relentless campaign of stalking. Neither the police nor her family understood the danger signs.

The Alice Ruggles Trust educates young people about stalking and upskills professionals in contact with young people to help them recognise and respond appropriately to stalking. We also deliver a range of services aimed at professionals who work, or might come into contact, with stalking victims or perpetrators, including training for criminal justice and social and healthcare professionals.

Over the years we’ve been supported by many generous donors and tireless fundraisers, to whom we are hugely grateful. But as we expand the costs grow.

So please support our runners in the 2026 Great North Run:
