As some of you may know, on 16th October I’m running the Blickling half marathon for Home- Start Norfolk. Home-Start’s vision is to shape a country where all children have the best possible start in life. They want to make sure that no parent or family feels alone in the critical task of raising children. Across their UK-wide federation of Home Starts, the focus is on building compassionate communities of support for families, parents and children - because childhood can’t wait.

Home- Start are important for so many families and they are particularly close to my heart because my Nanny has dedicated much of her retirement to volunteering for the charity. Please donate if you can!
