Arhaan takes part in the Vitality Westminster Mile for Adoption Matters

Six-year-old Arhaan Allyboccus has completed the Vitality Westminster Mile for Adoption Matters, raising over £200, including gift aid.

The event took place on Saturday 27^th September 2025 and Arhaan tackled the one-mile event, which starts at The Mall in London and finishes in front of Buckingham Palace, alongside his brother Ayaan (pictured), who was fundraising for the All Child charity.

Prior to the event, Arhaan and his family created the below video stating that they have been inspired to represent Adoption Matters at the event to help more children find “love, hugs and a place to call home”.

All of us here at Adoption Matters are so thankful towards Arhaan and his family for choosing our children’s charity, and the funds that have been raised will aid our support for families and adopted adults.

Annie O’Neill, our Fundraising and Relationship Manager, comments:

“We have loved the photos that have been sent through of Arhaan and his brother taking part in this event – it looked like they had so much fun and we are very grateful that Adoption Matters has been a beneficiary of that.

“Arhaan should be very proud of himself –  raising so much money at such a young age is a huge achievement.”
