Thank you for visiting this page. You can donate to the Taylor Wessing cycle ride from London to Paris to help Future First, Changing Faces and Kids Company here. Alternatively, if you want to donate to an individual participant, click on the "Taylor Wessing Team Pages" below to go to the list of those taking part.
Everyone at Future First, Kids Company and Changing Faces is really excited to have Taylor Wessing cycling from London to Paris to raise money for our work. Their support will really make a difference to the lives of the people we all help.
Future First works with over 450 state schools and colleges to bring their former students back to inspire young people still at school. Many of these young people are in need of role models they can relate to - 50% of disadvantaged young people don't know anyone in a job they'd like to do and 25% think that 'people like me' are not successful. Former students show these young people that they too can be successful and can also provide practical help for example by becoming mentors, work experience providers and even govenors of their old school.
Kids Company provides practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people. Its services reach 36,000 children across London and Bristol, including the most deprived and at risk whose parents are unable to care for them due to their own practical or emotional challenges.
Changing Faces helps people and families who are living with conditions, marks or scars that affect their appearance. They aim to help individuals lead full, confident and satisfying lives and change people's attitude towards those with an unusual appearance.
Future First is hosting the JustGiving page but the donations will be split evenly between the three charities.
We are so grateful for Taylor Wessing's amazing support; we’ll be with them every step of the way and would love it if you could donate today to make it a success!
A few words from our amazing fundraisers:
‘Thank you for visiting our event page. We are a group of people who work together at Taylor Wessing who have decided to cycle from our London office to our Paris office to raise money for the three amazing charities which are presently supported by Taylor Wessing UK: Changing Faces, Future First and Kids' Company.
You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. By donating to one of our fundraising pages (listed below), you can help us smash this goal and really make a difference. Please sponsor your friend or contact on the list below or, if you want to encourage us all, donate directly here to this page.
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving. So please dig deep and donate now.’
