I’m taking on this challenge to raise money for Sailors’ Children’s Society, a charity that supports children and families from seafaring backgrounds who are facing incredibly difficult times.

When a parent is lost at sea, becomes seriously ill, or a family experiences breakdown, the impact can be devastating—emotionally and financially. Many of the families supported are facing the reality of choosing between heating their homes or putting food on the table.

Sailors’ Children’s Society steps in when families need it most. They provide monthly grants to help with essentials like food, gas, and electricity, as well as support with school uniforms, winter clothing, and opportunities for children to feel included and thrive.

Every pound raised will go directly towards helping these families—giving children stability, confidence, and hope for the future.

This challenge is tough, but it’s nothing compared to what these families face every day.
