I'm cycling 50 miles on Sunday 4 October to change young lives!

At the start of October, I’ll be travelling from Sheffield to London to take part in Palace to Palace on 4th October, cycling 50 miles from Buckingham Palace to raise funds for The King’s Trust.

The King’s Trust provides tailored programmes and long-term support to help young people build practical skills, confidence, and emotional resilience so they can create positive futures for themselves.

Following the cost of living crisis and the lasting impact of the pandemic on education, employment, and wellbeing, almost one million young people in the UK are currently not in work, education, or training.

This is a cause that matters personally to me. Growing up, I was fortunate to be surrounded by a loving and supportive family and to experience opportunities that broadened my perspective on the world. Those experiences helped shape the direction my life has taken, and they also made me aware that many young people simply don’t start with the same support, stability, or opportunities.

The King’s Trust works to help bridge that gap — supporting young people who may otherwise be overlooked and helping them gain the confidence and skills needed to move forward.

If you are able to support the ride, any donation would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
