This Sunday 4 October I'm helping to change young lives

Nearly 1 million young people in the UK are currently sitting on the sidelines—out of work, education, or training.

Following years of disrupted education, a pandemic, and a relentless cost-of-living crisis, an entire generation is facing a massive resilience deficit. That’s why this Sunday, 4 October, I’m getting back in the saddle for the Palace to Palace cycle ride to support The King’s Trust.

But because the challenges facing these young people have multiplied, I’m multiplying my miles, too.

Instead of just riding the official route, I am more than doubling the distance by cycling from my front door to the starting line in London, completing the event, and cycling all the way back home.

How your donation changes a life: The King’s Trust provides the long-term support and practical skills young people need to build stable futures. They turn anxiety into aspiration.

• Just £20 can fund two hours of life-changing work experience for a young person in a thriving sector.

When I am inevitably weeping gently somewhere on the road from a mix of exhaustion, hunger, and severe saddle sores, knowing I have your backing will keep my legs moving. Please donate what you can and share this page. Every single penny counts!
