Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. The last time I entered an event to fundraise was 2013 - I swore I’d never do it again…but I was so moved by recent stories of domestic abuse, exacerbated by lockdown, I wanted to support a charity which is doing something to help young people avoid toxic relationships. 

I signed up to run the half marathon with just 6 weeks to go. I’m 2 weeks in - I’ll not lie - it’s tough coming from someone who doesn’t enjoy running.

You may have heard of LMK (Let Me Know) already, if so I hope you can take the time to donate and help more young people attend their courses to avoid domestic abuse down the line. 

If you haven’t come across the charity - please read on and support this very worthy cause. 

At LMK (www.justletmeknow.org) we work with young people to teach them how to build positive, healthy relationships free from abuse. We offer a prevention programme where young people are taught to spot and stop unhealthy relationship behaviours in themselves and others, using the 10 Signs. We cover practical tips on setting boundaries, consent and breaking up safely so young people can keep themselves and their friends safe.  In our first year, we worked with 1000 young people, in partnership with 18 partner organisations across 3 London boroughs. But this year, we want to help even more teenagers and spread our services wider. Just £15 pays for a young person to attend an LMK workshop.
