We are back again taking on a new challenge to support Barnardo's. We are celebrating our 150th anniversary and this year we are going to be doing a combination of running, cycling, swimming, weight training, walking and workout sessions. We are each going to complete 150 minutes every week for 4 weeks throughout May 🏊‍♂️🏋‍♀️🚵🏃

Thats a goal of 6600 minutes! We will be tracking our activities on strava and will keep you updated on our progress 😊

This is a challenging goal for many of us so please support us if you can 🙏

In April 2024 we kicked off our three year partnership with Barnardo's with a view to support care experienced young people. Our goal is to raise a minimum of £100,000 per year.

Leaving home is a challenge for everyone, but young people leaving care often do so without the support of a loving family. Nowadays, many young people rely on their family long after they're 18. But young people who have spent time in care don’t always have that safety net. They might not have a family home to return to if something goes wrong, or a parent to phone when they aren’t sure how to fix a problem. They can feel almost entirely alone.

The money we raise will help young care-experienced people to:

• find somewhere to live, such as supported lodgings

• manage their money

• continue with their education

• find work or training

• look after their mental and emotional wellbeing
