Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Red Ballon is a great charity that supports children who are too frightened to go to school because of bullying, mental health problems or some other trauma in their lives. Without Red Ballon’s care, these children run the risk of dropping out on their education, missing their exams, becoming socially isolated at home, and failing to find their place in the adult world. Some even attempt suicide. Red Ballon provides education, wellbeing and therapeutic support so they can rebuild their self esteem and self confidence, resume their studies, take exams, make friends and reconnect with their communities. Most of all, they learn to trust again, be brave and plan for their futures.

Please donate if you can as I attempt to cycle 600km’s in January. I’m planning to complete this challenge solely using a stationary bike in the living room, so no countryside views for me! 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity

About the charity

16,000 children in the UK are so badly bullied that they cannot go to school. The aim of Red Balloon is to aid their recovery by providing them with an 'intensive care' full-time academic and personal and social education programme so that they can return to mainstream school or go on to college.
