Change is way over-due. Today, I want to pledge to learn; to listen; to support; to campaign; to fundraise; to donate... to be active against racism. This fundraiser is a start. I hope that one day I will live to witness an end. 

How this works: Saturday the 6th of June is #runforblacklives day. I'm going to aim to run 15k, which is about twice as far as I have run for months. I'm pushing the distance because I encourage you to donate as much as you can for every kilometre I go. Whether that's 50p, £1, £5, whatever, you can push me to run further and I can push you to donate more. I'll share my run on this page once I've done it. Please SHARE this page and let's see how much we can raise! 

"AccessUK is a charitable organisation that was founded in 2014, as a voice for the million or more youths who are currently unemployed in the UK, particularly Black and Minority Ethnic NEETs (Not in Employment, Education or Training).

Our main objective is to help reduce BME youth unemployment, provide employment and training solutions for youth offenders and implement anti-gang initiatives in the community.
 
Government and independent statistical analysis of UK BME youth unemployment figures, has consistently shown a huge disparity in the employment rates of white and BME job seekers. This problem is particularly acute amongst black youths who are twice if not more likely, to be unemployed than their fellow white job seekers (1/2 unemployed)."
