My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On 22 April 2012 we completed the marathon for a fantastic cause.

Voice is a charity which works with and on behalf of the 65,000 children and young people currently in the care system in the UK.

Less than 14% of children in the care system achieve five or more GCSEs at A* to C grade, compared with a national average of around 55%. 50% of young people in care experience mental health problems, compared to 12% nationally.

Voice exists in order that no child or young person in public care or ‘in need’ is left without the support of an independent expert to help them fight their corner and get their voice heard. It strives for a more child-centred care system, based on their needs; a system in which the views and feelings of each young person is at the heart of the decision-making.

Anything that you could contribute would really make a difference so thank you very much!
