The Banham Charitable Foundation and Banham have proudly supported The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity for eight years. Having sponsored the Marsden March walk since 2015, Banham formally partnered with the Charity in 2019 and launched The Banham Marsden March. We have committed our support through to 2025 which will mark 10 years in partnership together!
With cancer affecting 1 in 2 people, many of us at Banham have sadly been touched by cancer either directly, through our loved ones or amongst our colleagues. It is why this cause is so close to our hearts at Banham and why we feel it is so important to support The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to make a difference for cancer patients at The Royal Marsden, throughout the UK and around the world.
Banham’s partnership helps raise awareness and funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity’s world class, pioneering cancer treatments and research.
To date, we have had more than 480 members of Team Banham take part in the March and together we have raised over £150,000!
We are so proud of our staff for the difference that they have made by taking part in the March each year with their friends, family, colleagues and furry friends.

The Banham Marsden March is The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity’s flagship fundraising event. Taking place each May, thousands of walkers embark on the 15 mile route from Chelsea and Sutton, between the two Royal Marsden hospital sites, or join for the last 5 miles. Walkers experience a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, coming together with staff, patients and supporters of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity to transform the lives of cancer patients.
Participants can choose between the 15 mile or family-friendly 5 mile routes, or can take part in The Banham Marsden March at Home and walk either distance in their local area.
The full 15-mile route goes from The Royal Marsden in Chelsea, through Fulham, Putney, Wimbledon and Cheam, all the way to The Royal Marsden in Sutton. The shorter, family-friendly 5-mile route follows the last five miles of the main route.
There’s an incredible atmosphere on the day, with heaps of excitement and an immense sense of community with thousands of participants coming together from across the country to set out on the walk.
At the start line we hear from patients, staff and fellow marchers before setting off. The five mile route will also have a family-friendly warm up activity to get walkers ready for the journey ahead.
The Banham Marsden March is a brilliant family day out that can be enjoyed by everyone - all while getting your steps in!
The routes are step free and perfect for family, friends, wheelchairs, prams and pets! The 5 mile walk is a perfect route for those walking with young children.
No matter which route you take, you’ll receive your hard-earned Banham Marsden March medal when you reach the finish line. You’ll also be able to enjoy finish line celebrations including live music, performers, children’s activities, and special areas of reflection and celebration. A selection of delicious food options will also be available for you to choose from.
