Activities. <strong>Things</strong>.</p> <p class="p1">Whether it's windsurfing, cycling,&nbsp;mountain biking, BMF or tennis, Most of us have been given loads of opportunities by our parents to do a great deal - and we've learnt loads about being better people from doing them. Team building skills, resilience, communication. The melting pot of activities we've been lucky to do out of school have made us better people,&nbsp;better colleagues, better parents. &nbsp;</p> <p class="p1">UK Youth is one of the charity partners behind O2's Think Big initiative.</p> <p class="p1">UK Youth is all about making sure ALL young people across the UK get these opportunities - whether their parents can afford them or not. The charity work with around 750,000 young people every year to help them raise their aspirations and realise their potential by giving them fantastic opportunities outside school. &nbsp;It's a tough time to be a young person growing up, which is why we've decided to take part in the epic HotChillee cycle from London to Paris to support UK Youth. It's not a 4-day pootle, it's a three day, high speed slog of 180km a day for three straight days at speeds of around 20mph. PLEASE dig deep to support this very special charity which makes a real difference to the lives of young people in this country - every penny makes a difference.</p> <p class="p1">Thank you for your support and for visiting our page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
