Around The World In 80 Days · 9 September 2019

Jamie’s Farm acts as a catalyst for change; enabling children and young people facing disadvantages nationwide, at risk of social and academic exclusion, to be better equipped to thrive academically, socially and emotionally during their school years and beyond.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The O2 team will be out walking, running, dancing and doing whatever we can to reach our personal steps target of 10k+ steps a day. So far we've had team commitments to run 3 times a week, walk to work, and have lunch time power hours every Wednesday.

For the next 80 days we will be stepping our way to raising £1500 for our chosen charity, Jamie's Farm -https://jamiesfarm.org.uk/

Jamie's Farm offer a week of therapy, farming, and family to young children experiencing difficulty at school or home and who have often been excluded/expelled. This is done through a 5 day stay on the farm and then a rigorous follow-up programme. This addresses the root causes of exclusion by equipping vulnerable children to thrive during their secondary school years and look forward to a more positive future.

A recent study shows that pupils excluded from school at age 12 are four times as likely as other children to be jailed as adults. 

Our vision
Every year, 2,000 disadvantaged children are better equipped to thrive in education and see their futures more positively.
