On 23rd March I will be running the Hampton Court Half Marathon, and I wanted to use this opportunity to fundraise for TimeGivers.

I’ve had the privilege of working with this incredible charity for the last 2 years, and in that time, I’ve witnessed first hand the impact of our mission: to make volunteering accessible to all children, regardless of background or ability.

To date, our small team has facilitated over 350 volunteering events with young people. Ranging from intergenerational activities in care homes, to cooking meals for food banks, writing cards for vulnerably housed individuals, litter picking, and cleaning community spaces. Our programmes have touched the lives of over 8,000 young people, contributing more than 15,000 hours of giving back!

Volunteering creates lasting change, both for the person involved and the communities they support. It’s been truly inspiring to watch young people grow through these experiences, becoming change-makers in their own communities.

I would be incredibly grateful for any support you can offer to TimeGivers. It’s taken a lot of months to get into the running zone and make it past the 5km mark! Your donation will make a real difference to a charity of this size, and help us continue to reach the children who need it most, and create a lasting impact.
