Red Balloon down the Thames · 22 July 2019

Red Balloon Educational Trust helps young people who aren't able to go to mainstream school right now because of trauma like severe bullying, mental ill-health and SEND. We help them get back on their feet, live happier, fuller lives and re-engage with education.

Story

My 8 year old daughter and I have decided to canoe the River Thames from the source (in Gloucestershire) to London, to raise money for Red Balloon Learner Centre North West London (RBNWL). This will involve 8 days of paddling, camping each night and more than 120 miles to cover! 

RBNWL is a therapeutic learning centre for vulnerable children who have undergone trauma such as abuse or severe bullying. To rebuild their self esteem and resilience RBNWL offers experiences like the Duke of Edinburgh Award and funds raised through this challenge will go towards these valuable and life changing opportunities for students.
