My story
Thanks for visiting Steve and Rosie’s fundraising page!
We're raising money for Voice, a national charity working with children and young people in care in England. Our target is pretty ambitious – it’s made up of two combined targets of £1,500 as we’re using guaranteed places in the marathon we have been given by Voice. We hope you will help us to smash this target and raise lots of money for this deserving cause!
For more information go to www.voiceyp.org To follow our blog go to http://steveandrosie2012.blogspot.com
Thank you - every donation makes a huge difference!

Here is some information about Voice:
Who Voice helps:
- Voice helps children and young people are in the care system, 'in need' (not in care but needing support from local authorities) and leaving care.
- There are now over 65,000 children and young people looked after by the state in England.
- Of these, over 70% are in foster care with the next largest proportion living in secure units, children's homes and hostels.
Why:
- Well over half of all children and young people taken into care are there because they have been abused or neglected - not because they are ‘troublemakers’ as they are often portrayed.
- On average about 80 children die of abuse or neglect in England and Wales every year, and there have been more than 70 public inquiries since the Children Act 1948.
- The prospects for those leaving care are often bleak compared with other young people of a similar age:
- Only 7% go on to higher education (Department for Education [DfE] figures, 2009) compared to nearly 50% of all young people.
- In 2010, 38% of recent care leavers were recorded as not in education, employment or training (DfE, 2010).
- More than half of young people in care develop mental health problems (Young Minds, 2009).
How Voice helps:
With support from Voice, vulnerable young people are supported to:
- Be removed from situations of abuse and neglect
- Have their rights upheld
- Receive fair and equal treatment and access to services such as education, finance and housing
- Be supported to ‘speak out’ when they are upset about how they are being treated
- Be at the centre of decisions made about their lives
