I’m walking to raise money for a little charity that punches far above its weight.
WAVE Trust has spent the past 20-odd years searching for the best ways to prevent childhood trauma (be it from abuse, neglect, growing up in a dysfunctional household, etc ), then pushing for authorities to implement them. We don’t just want to deal with issues that have occurred – we want to PREVENT them from happening in the first place, sparing numerous children from horrendous experiences and society from the enormous social and financial costs of their ramifications years down the line.
We conduct research, lobby politicians, chair parliamentary groups, support grassroots campaigns across the UK and generally contribute to a growing, international movement to stop adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) from damaging peoples’ lives. In short, we keep ourselves busy.
To do all this, we need to have money in the bank. That’s why I’d be very grateful if you could contribute towards this highly ambitious, thoroughly inspired organisation and help it achieve the kind of goals we all stand to benefit from.
Thank you!
