I'm running the Fred Hughes 10 miler on 19th January in aid of Fumble, a sexual health charity based in Sheffield.

My employer, G-Research, will generously double-match any donations.

A few words about the charity:

Right now, girls and women are really struggling: in the digital age, the challenges around harassment, consent, relationships and mental health are unprecedented. Both online and offline, rates of sexual harassment, image-based sexual abuse, and sexual violence are staggeringly high. 90% of UK girls say that sexist name calling & being sent unwanted explicit pictures and videos happens ‘a lot' or ‘sometimes' (OFSTED). This need to change - Fumble is the answer.

Quality RSHE is essential to prevent violence against women and girls, as outlined in a recent statement by 50+ VAWG UK organisations: https://buff.ly/42BVvjG. Our resources tackle issues particularly relevant to girls and women (sexual harassment & violence, image-based sexual abuse, body image, toxic & unhealthy relationships), as well as indirectly supporting them by educating boys and men on topics (consent, porn, harassment). We want to expand our resources to better women and girls’ lives.
