Westminster House Youth Club offers children and young people a homework club every afternoon followed by the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award, First Aid, Fire Safety and Food Safety training. Plus lots of sporting and fun activities like table tennis and trampolining. The club offers things that we may take for granted, but that not all children can otherwise access. 

Westminster House is one of the oldest youth clubs in the country. Since 1888 the Club has worked with some of the most deprived and disadvantaged young people in the country. It's a small charity that is making a big difference in Nunhead and Peckham.  

Please help us to raise £2,000, which would be enough for two young people to take part in the youth club three nights a week, homework club five days a week, complete certified vocational training plus attend the school holiday club and residential trips for a whole year.

Westminster House is a very special place! Please watch Antonio Ribeiro's film at the following link to see for yourselves:

We're both looking forward to not only fundraising for Westminster House but also getting more actively involved with their fantastic disability awareness scheme and disability sports programme. We'll update you over the coming weeks on how we all get on! 

In the meantime, we've got some serious training to get under our belts! The furthest that we've ever run together is a half marathon and that was just the once and a good while ago so the London Marathon is going to be a huge challenge for us but one that we're committed to achieving and really looking forward to!  We're hoping to cross the line together in The Mall without metaphorically reaching the end of our tether but hopefully still attached by our rope one!
