Story

I am turning 50 this month :-0 and I am going to cycle 50 miles on March 12th to celebrate!  

I am cycling for the Sophie Hayes Foundation. My hope is to raise £1000 which the amount needed to support one survivor of trafficking to develop the confidence, skills and experience needed to enter the workplace and start the process of financial independence. Sophie Hayes Foundation, relies heavily on volunteers to enable this incredible impact for survivors.  Below is a short summary of their approach. 

Thank you :-)

The need is great. Thousands of women need our help to stop the risk of re-trafficking and a lifetime of slavery. Our commitment is to break this chain with positive support for a better future. One day at a time One woman at a time One life at a time And you can help every, £1000 helps a women survivor: Become employable with new skills and experiences Gain practical knowledge from writing CVs, to interview skills and digital training. Build confidence through coaching and career planning. Access new opportunities for studying, internships, volunteering and work placements Support through the survivor's network and community events
