In July of this year I was given the great honour of becoming the Mayor of Kidsgrove for the year 17/18. I have chosen to support 2 charities this year and will be working hard to raise as much money as I can for them.

They are Kidsgrove Care Solutions who are a local based charity who work brilliantly with local people with learning disabilities and also I will be supporting younger minds.

I have personal experiences of children's mental health with a son who has Austism and know the hard work that younger minds do to support the entire family.

On Saturday 26th August I will be taking part in a 10 mile Gritstone walk and I hope you are able to support me with this and help me raise the much needed funds
