70km Surrey to Sea Run for WiSE

Leah Ellen is raising money for YMCA DownsLink Group

70KM Surrey to Sea Ultra Run · 23 October 2025

We are the largest regional charity in Sussex and Surrey working to prevent youth homelessness and support children and young people’s emotional and mental health. We do this by providing a safe home, increasing life skills and self-confidence, and improving emotional wellbeing and mental health.

Story

We are excited (and slightly scared!) to run a continuous 70 km to raise funds for WiSE - a specialist service supporting young people at risk of or experiencing sexual exploitation and grooming. The run will start at their Surrey office in Guildford and end at the Sussex office in Brighton!

Last year alone, WiSE supported 188 young people across Surrey and Sussex. Raising money will enable them to help even more children this year.

Donations will help fund:

- Resources to make sessions more accessible

- Activities for young people

With YMCA WiSE celebrating 15 years of service this year, we aim to raise £1500, £100 for every year they have provided specialist support to young people who are at risk of or experiencing child sexual exploitation and grooming, across Brighton & Hove, East Sussex and Surrey.

All donations will go specifically to funding the WiSE project.

Thank you for your support!
