Battersea Park Half Marathon · 18 October 2025 ·

The digital industry is experiencing epic growth but there is a talent shortage. Over 130,000 tech jobs are available each year in the UK but students are leaving education without sufficient knowledge and experience to get the job. We want to change this. With Ada, students can learn relevant digital skills to pursue their dream job in tech. We are a unique community which puts computer programming at the heart of everything we do. Our students are the future game changers: challenging the norm, excited by change, and resilient in the face of adversity. We want to remove the glass ceiling for women and individuals from low-income backgrounds in the tech industry. Everyone, from any background, is entitled to a quality education and a better future.

Story

I've been called a lot of things in my career, but a "runner" isn't one of them.

Despite my better judgment, I'm running the Battersea Half Marathon on October 18th to fundraise for Ada, the National College for Digital Skills.

I'm incredibly passionate about widening access to tech careers, and Ada's work is truly brilliant. I'm proud to support them.

As if to prove the point, here's a photo of the last time I did some exercise. Alone, in a gym.

If you're able to, please consider donating to my page or sharing it with your network. Every pound counts and I'd be so grateful!

I'm running in a team with some amazing colleagues. Team page here
