This July, Richard and I will be taking on the first leg of 4YP's sponsored walk – a 9.7-mile challenge – to help raise money for an amazing local charity.

For those who don't know, 4YP has been supporting children and young people aged 7–25 across Ipswich since 2000. We provide counselling, youth work, drop-ins and tailored support in schools, helping young people with their mental health, wellbeing and whatever challenges they may be facing.

We're incredibly excited to be moving into a brand new hub on the Waterfront. While we've been fortunate to receive funding for the building, we're now fundraising to make it a truly welcoming, safe and inspiring space for the children and young people who use it.

If you're able to donate, no matter how big or small, we'd be so grateful. Every penny will help create a space where young people can feel safe, supported and heard.

Thank you so much for supporting us!
