Story
I’m running the London Marathon and raising money to support the Spear Programme in Bristol, a charity that runs 6 week programmes to help young people, particularly those from more disadvantaged backgrounds, who are out of work or education get back into their chosen career or study by coaching them to build their confidence up and give them the skills they need to succeed.
Many young people in Bristol are out of work, with a higher percentage of unemployment within the 16-24 cohort than other age groups. Spear Bristol has successfully helped hundreds of young people get back into work and education, and stay there over the last 4 years and is expanding its reach to help more young people across the city of Bristol.
I have been involved with Spear Bristol in different capacities for a number of years and it's truly inspirational seeing the impact the charity is having on so many lives and in the city of Bristol. Any donation would be so appreciated and will go a long way to helping this charity continue the amazing work it is doing.
