Teens and Toddlers is rebranding!

From March 2018 we will be known as Power²  - we'll still be keeping our amazing 18 week Teens and Toddlers programme, but the rebrand will enable us to provide better support to more young people in more areas.

Our focus remains helping children and young people explore, achieve and exceed their potential - and we encourage our staff to do the same!

I'll be riding a Royal Enfield motorcycle across India to help showcase the different ways individuals can help to raise awareness, support and funds for our charity.

This demanding and challenging trip will see me attempting to ride over 2170km (averaging 290km to 300km a day) on a 500cc Royal Enfield motorcycle travelling from Delhi to Varanasi and then travelling back to Delhi via Khajuraho and Jaipur.

I expect to encounter freezing fog, chaotic traffic and a wide range of road surfaces as well as exploring the wonderful and varied local cuisine, immersing myself in the culture, staying with local people and  travelling through some amazing scenery, villages and towns.

The full itinerary of my trip can be found below.

I will capture the trip on video and will upload regular blogs which we will showcase during my journey.

I've set an ambitious fundraising target of £2,170 which will all go to supporting our work (I am fully funding the trip myself).
