Hi everybody,

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page! In less than 3 months now, I will be running the London Marathon for #TeamBarnardos. 🙌

Running the London Marathon is something that I have always wanted to do. It’s one of those once in a lifetime, bucket-list, life-long goal, things. So, I am really proud to be doing it for Barnardo’s, who do incredible work to transform the lives of the most vulnerable children and young people in our society.

I have been working with children, young people and families for over 12 years now, in lots of different roles and settings… (Youth Leader, Tent Leader, Team Leader, Student Teacher, Teaching Assistant, Support Worker, and Attendance & Inclusion Officer). Many of the people I have worked with during this time have experienced problems with abuse, neglect, mental health, substance misuse, isolation, and homelessness.

As one of the UK's leading children's charities, Barnardo’s work directly with over 300,000 children, young people, parents & carers every year. They run over 1,000 vital services across the UK, to build stronger families, safer childhoods and positive futures. Barnardo's believe in children, regardless of their circumstances, gender, race, disability or behaviour.

You can find out more about what Barnardo’s do, by following this link... www.barnardos.org.uk/what-we-do 

Where will your money go?

£10 - Could give a young carer a day out, and a break from their caring responsibilities.
£25 - Could provide a young person with bedding and a safe place to sleep.
£50 - Could provide specialist support to help a child recover from the trauma of sexual abuse.
£60 - Could provide emergency food and heating for 4 homeless young people for a whole week.
£100 - Could provide 4 mentoring sessions to a young person leaving care.


Please give as little or as much as you can to support the amazing work that Barnardo’s do. All donations will be gratefully received!

Let’s do this! ✌

Love,

Rob :) x
