Annabel and I are raising money for Big Leaf at the Twilight Runway Challenge in September. We're both running 5K.

Big Leaf helps displaced young people, to get the support they need to build a meaningful life here.

The small Surrey based charity is now helping over 280 young people each year and demand for its services continues to grow.

Big Leaf works with young people aged 15-25. These young people are resilient and determined and have so much to offer their communities. But they need support to find their feet in their new lives - they need people who believe in them, who will help them navigate the long and complex asylum system and who care about them and above all, they need opportunities.

Big Leaf aims to provide all of this.

Big Leaf works in partnership with over 30 local organisations, businesses and statutory partners and with the support of volunteers, one of whom is Annabel.

But Big Leaf also needs funding to keep the projects running and to meet the increase in demand.

Big Leaf projects include sports, creative arts, casework support, education, leadership programmes and residentials.
