On August 24th, we are running the Reykjavik marathon this year, and will be raising money for the charity Abianda. This charity is doing extraordinary things with young people in the UK, and providing necessary education to help support those affected by criminal exploitation. Please read the charity's message and follow the link if you would like to learn more. Thank you for your support, no matter how small!

"Abianda is a social enterprise that works with young women and girls affected by criminal exploitation and violence and provides training for the professionals who work with them.

We provide direct services for young women and girls aged up to 25 and training for professionals who work with them. We set up Abianda to address the gap in services for young women affected by 'gangs' and to change the way services are delivered to them, so we can more effectively respond to their needs. We do this through our unique model of practice – we address the barriers that stop young women from seeking help & work alongside them to design & deliver our services."
