Why I'm Running for Smart Works

This October, I'm lacing up my trainers for my first ever half marathon – The Royal Parks Half Marathon on 12th October 2025. While 13.1 miles might seem daunting, it's nothing compared to the challenges faced by women struggling to re-enter the workforce.

That's why I've chosen to run for Smart Works, a charity doing incredible work across the UK. They provide unemployed women with professional clothing, expert coaching, and most importantly – the confidence to walk into a job interview and succeed.

The statistics speak for themselves: 69% of women secure a job within a month of visiting Smart Works. That's not just a number – it's women gaining financial independence, supporting their families, and transforming their lives.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps Smart Works dress and coach another woman for success. Whether it's £10 or £100, your support will make a real difference to someone taking that brave step towards a new chapter.

I'm challenging myself with this half marathon – will you help me challenge unemployment and empower women in our community?

Thank you for your support!
