Celebrating Eoin Stein’s Incredible Marathon Fundraising for NHP
Posted 1st July 2025
Earlier this year, Eoin Stein took on the incredible challenge of running the Chester Marathon, and in doing so, raised over £1,000 for the NHP. We were absolutely thrilled when his employer, Toyota, generously match-funded his efforts with an additional £1,000, bringing the total raised to £2,000.
“I found out about NHP, a brilliant cause, when I was entered into my first half marathon at Alton Towers. The number of people NHP helps and the real difference they make to so many lives is just amazing. When I signed up for my first full marathon in my hometown of Chester, I knew I wanted to give something back. Fundraising for NHP felt like the perfect way to do that. I was aware that Toyota would match up to £1,000 if I could raise that amount, but I never imagined I’d actually reach it. I was so thrilled when I did and even more so when Toyota confirmed the match. It’s such a great initiative, and it makes me proud to work for them. Since then, I’ve completed a couple more half marathons, and I’m sure I’ll be fundraising for NHP again in the future.”
We are incredibly grateful to Eoin for his dedication and to Toyota for their generous support. Donations like these make a huge difference to a charity like ours, helping us continue to support young people leaving care to live independently and thrive.

A message from our CEO
Young people tell us that the House Project approach helps significantly, but we should never underestimate the enormous challenges they face at such a critical time in their lives. This reality was brought home to us recently with Sue’s decision to swap her working life at NHP for retirement caring for her new granddaughter two days a week. Even though Sue is fully in control of this decision-making process - something our young people often are not - the transition has still been discombobulating; letting go of something she enjoys and that has defined her, and moving on to something that will be incredibly rewarding and joyous.
