I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon this October to raise money for the incredible Future Hope School (a cause very close to my heart). As a team, we're aiming to raise £4,650 which will provide 7 vulnerable children living in poverty an all-round education; a start in life that everyone deserves.
Future Hope is an amazing charity that provides opportunity through its homes, school, sports and medical programme for some of the most vulnerable children from the streets and slums of Kolkata, India. Every night children sleep alone on the streets and around the city’s main stations. Many are ill, most suffer serious forms of exploitation and all are vulnerable. Future Hope addresses the individual needs of destitute children and helps them to become independent, self-supporting members of society.
Over the last four years, I've been lucky enough to witness first-hand the life-changing care at Future Hope. Not just in terms of meeting basic needs, but also in providing a community and a support structure that remains in place through a student's entire life. This is about breaking the cycle of poverty and giving children the start in life and the safety net that everyone deserves.
If you could spare a few pounds or even just a share on social media, it'll make a huge, huge difference!
Thanks so much,
