</span>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Just wish my fantastic father could be there to witness the journey that now is rapidly unfolding, his very sudden death before Christmas took away a great deal of my confidence as he always gave me such self belief- the disadvantaged youngsters that will benefit from your sponsorship donations have no one to give them the self belief that there is a better life after gang culture, unsocial behaviour and knife crime.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Brathay can help really make a difference with their work at grass roots with these young people</strong></span></p>
