This year I’m taking part in the London Half Marathon and doing so to raise money for The Forward Trust, a charity that empowers people to break the cycles of addiction to move forward with their lives. For more than 25 years they have been working with people to build positive and productive lives, whatever their past. We should all believe that anyone is capable of lasting change. Their services have supported thousands of people to make positive changes and build productive lives with a job, family and friends.
