Story

Sometimes it is the small things that can have the biggest impact. One class can change a life, so I am raising money for the City Lit Bursary and Student fund to makes sure no one has to forego a new future because of financial difficulties. Recently, the Fund has helped someone who was homeless qualify for entrance to university; supported a single mum as she embarked on a new career and helped a carer with expenses so he could be confident his parents were looked after while he was at class. These are just a few of the many people who have needed a bit of assistance. City Lit is celebrating a century of education in 2019, and, I want to be one of the 100 new supporters making sure that support from Bursary and Student Fund is there when people need it most. Please join me and help give the gift of education to someone who really needs it.



Ok so I can never again... and didn’t tell anyone incase I changed my mind but on Sunday I completed my second London Marathon ... in the rain!
