This summer The Miles Partnership, and our families, will be embarking on two fundraising events, in East Sussex and Lancashire, to raise money for an amazing cause.

In recent years we've supported the SOS Children's Village in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The village does exceptional work trying to right the imbalances created by a roll of the dice; supporting safe, nurturing environments for children to learn, grow and make their way in the world.

Two of our colleagues will shortly be heading to South Africa to volunteer and learn more about SOS's work, and they will post updates here.

We've decided we're going to do something useful and something which connects our kids here with those in South Africa. We are going to clean beaches in Rye and Formby.

Every newspaper and website seems to be full of stories about the increasing damage we're doing to our oceans and the legacy this will bring to our children. We want to do our bit, try to be more connected with the world and raise money for a great cause.

Thanks for your support.
