We provide free, one-to-one confidential counselling support to young people in St Albans, Harpenden and surrounding areas.

Story

I’m running for the local charity Youth Talk because a lot of young people struggle with their mental health these days, people are really struggling, including me.

Young people don’t feel heard or seen. Youth Talk provides a much needed space to talk about their worries and in confidence.

Counselling and therapy is so expensive, it’s seen as a luxury now which isn’t ok. Youth Talk provides young people completely free access to one-to-one counselling so that when a young person needs help money isn’t a barrier. That’s amazing. This is why I’m asking you to sponsor me in running the St Albans Half.

**UPDATE - I want to aim higher and raise £400 to help provide EIGHT local young people with a free counselling session.**

£50 could help provide a young person with a one-to-one counselling session

It’s a gruelling 13.1miles of running, I’m not a runner and its hilly! The St Albans Half is hailed as the #IceLolly run it’s notoriously hot.

I’m running to make a real difference to other young people having a tough time right now. Please sponsor me and wish me luck!

Thank you!
