Sheffield Half Marathon 2023 · 26 March 2023 ·

SAVTE’s mission is to support people develop the necessary English language skills to help them gain confidence and become independent, active citizens. Our language volunteers work with people in community settings or their homes, helping speakers of other languages learn everyday English.

Story

I started volunteering with SAVTE in 2020 and saw the amazing work SAVTE do first hand. Through supporting my learner, I saw her confidence and language ability grow, culminating in her applying to go to college! In 2022 I did a two-month placement at SAVTE and got to see the range of support and tuition they offer e.g. through conversation groups, volunteer training and more.

I wanted to fundraise for SAVTE to support their work - and thought one half marathon wouldn't be enough - so I am doing two in two weeks! Starting with the Chichester Harbour Half Marathon on the 11th March and finishing with the Sheffield Half Marathon on the 26th March I will be running 26 miles in total!
