Team fundraising for Onwards and Upwards

Raising money for Onwards and Upwards

We create initiatives providing employment to ex-offenders, the first of which is XO Bikes. We provide training inside, employment outside & pastoral support on all sides. Over 400 studies show that employment is the single most important factor in reducing reoffending rates.

Story

This year as part of the UK Challenge, UCL Team 1 are raising money for Onwards & Upwards – a charity set up to break the cycle of reoffending by training, mentoring and employing ex-offenders. They do this by launching and growing sustainable social ventures that are small, beautiful and loud (check out XO Bikes here LINK), and give people the foundations, opportunities and support to build a positive future for themselves.

In July 2025 I will be running up mountains, cycling through rivers, orienteering over unforgiving terrain and solving tricky puzzles with a team in the Lake District, for three days! Please help me by contributing to my fundraising effort for O&U. You can check out the amazing work they do using this link, real people – real lives.

Please share this with your friends and family, spread the word and help promote this amazing charity! Onwards & Upwards
