We create initiatives providing employment to ex-offenders, the first of which is XO Bikes. We provide training inside, employment outside & pastoral support on all sides. Over 400 studies show that employment is the single most important factor in reducing reoffending rates.

Story

Help me raise money for Onwards & Upwards – a charity set up to break the cycle of reoffending by training, mentoring and employing ex-offenders.

Over the past year or so I’ve been on a major physical and mental transformation journey — a personal mission to rebuild my health, fitness, and self-confidence. It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made, and now I’m ready to push myself even further. Marathons, Hyrox and Martial Arts competitions are on the long term agenda, but in the mean time, this July, I’m proud to be part of a UCL team competing in the UK Challenge — a multi-day adventure race through my beloved Lake District.

I’ll be running up mountains, cycling across rivers, orienteering over rugged terrain, and solving complex team challenges — all over three intense days. We’re doing this in support of Onwards & Upwards — a brilliant organisation that helps people rebuild their lives during rehabilitation. They launch and grow sustainable social ventures, giving individuals real opportunities and lasting support to create a better future.
