This year i challenged myself to run the Hackney Half Marathon - and its happening! Beside being a personal challenge I also wanted to help raise money for an incredible charity my mum help set up. Community Arts Wellbeing Studio is a registered charity offering free social and exercise activities to combat loneliness. It has grown over the last few months to offer three sessions varying from art and music to exercise and movement.

I’ve seen first hand the difference these clases are making for peoples social wellbeing, fitness and mobility. Having a place where people can come together and create their own community is such a rare opportunity in todays world and this charity is breaking those boundaries.

They plan to increase what they can offer and who they offer this to over the coming months. Please help me to support this charity by giving any donation you can – no amount is too small! Wish me luck…
