On Sunday 15 March I will be running the Barcelona Marathon for Tomorrow's People, an incredible national employment charity that help vulnerable people find meaningful employment and stay there.

This will be my fourth marathon and for the first time, I am undergoing a proper training plan and sticking to it! This means 10 mile runs at 6am in the January cold and devoting weekends to the 'big' run each Sunday.

Tomorrow's People is dedicated to breaking the cycle of unemployment and dependency in deprived communities throughout the UK. By running ground-breaking programmes that focus on the individual, Tomorrow’s People helps the most disadvantaged and hardest to reach people transform their lives through work.

Working with young people at risk of falling out of the education system, those with criminal convictions, ex-gang members, carers and care-leavers, people with health problems and those with poor confidence and self-esteem, OUR trained advisers help adults and young people reach their potential, positively impacting not only the individual but family members, peer groups and local communities.

For every £1 Tomorrow’s People invests in a programme, at least £2.40 is returned to society in increased taxes and reduced health, housing and criminal justice costs.

Any donation would be hugely appreciated - please remember to claim Gift Aid!
