The Matchtech Defence & Security team will be running the New Forest Half Marathon to raise money for Youth Options, an incredible local charity that supports and empowers young people. It's a privilege to support such a meaningful cause and help make a positive difference for the next generation. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💙

Across Hampshire, too many young people are facing challenges like poor mental health, lack of safe spaces, and barriers to education. At Youth Options, we work every day to support them - providing somewhere safe to go, someone to talk to, and opportunities to build confidence, learn new skills, and move towards a better future.

Every pound you raise will go directly towards this support. That could mean funding a safe space for a young person who needs somewhere to belong, providing one-to-one mental health support, or helping someone re-engage with learning and gain qualifications.
