For our Social Action Project whilst on NCS we've chosen two charities to support and raise money for. The Remembering Nell Foundation, which supports charity projects all around Cheshire, and Papyrus; an organisation that prevents suicide in young people.

Members of our team have been personally impacted by the Manchester attack in 2017 in which a classmate, Nell Jones, was killed and another severely injured. We've decided to support the Remembering Nell Foundation to not only show solidarity for our classmates, but to join the movement against terrorism and hate within Manchester and to highlight the positivity that has grown from such a tragic experience.

Papyrus, our second charity, focuses on breaking down the stigma around suicide and working to prevent it. We have chosen this charity because several of our teammates lost a friend to suicide in 2017. We wanted to support the organisation because they work locally in surrporting family and friends that have experienced the same tragedy and help to prevent it from happening to anyone else. 

For one of our events we'll be cycling the distance from London to Paris and back again between the 15 of us. That's 39 miles each.

Any money would be greatly appreciated and you'll be supporting amazing causes. Thank you for helping us with our chairty fundraising.
