I'm walking miles to change young lives
On Sunday 6th October, I will be taking part in the Palace Walk. With OneAdvanced colleagues I will be walking 13.1 miles around Windsor to help young people create a better future for themselves.
The King's Trust has tailored programmes and provides long-term support give young people the practical skills and emotional resilience to pick themselves back up and create their own positive futures.
The recent Class of Covid report reveals almost half of young people in the UK (49%) feel anxious about their future on a daily basis, with 59% agreeing it feels frightening for their generation. Findings suggest the impact of the pandemic and now a cost-of-living crisis is taking its toll on young people, as 45% agree anxiety around recent political and economic events affects them daily. More than a third (35%) feel their life is spiralling out of control, and for those from lower income backgrounds, this increases to 41%.With 3 young people at home I can testify to the lasting effects of COVID on their mental health.
Please help me support The King's Trust by sponsoring my Palace Walk and sharing my page. Just a £20 donation could provide a young person with an experienced youth worker for an hour, building their confidence, resilience and motivation during this time.

Keeping going...
Monday 16th Sep It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted; I've continued training but had a few niggles. Shoes that have worn through in 6 weeks, trying to wear in new ones, trying a new route to prevent boredom but ended up walking through jungle!! Yesterday I stuck to a known, mostly pavement or rough path, route. Cutting out cross-country and fields really helped speed up my time.
