I am taking on 50,000 steps a week to end youth unemployment

I’m taking on Steps to Success in May for The King’s Trust – I will be doing 50,000 steps a week to help transform the lives of young people in the UK.

At a time when 900,000 young people in the UK are out of work – enough to form the UK’s third biggest city, The King’s Trust are committed to ending youth unemployment, and I’m doing my bit to support.  

The money raised by taking on this challenge and fundraising for The King's Trust will make a positive difference for young people across the UK:

  • £12 could fund a call to The King's Trust helpline, enabling a vulnerable young person to gain the critical advice they need.
  • £26 could cover the cost of travel for an isolated young person to attend a one-week King's Trust course, helping them build vital skills and gain valuable work experience. 
  • £35 could help buy smart interview clothes to help a young person land a job.
  • £55 could provide a young person managing a struggling new business with expert mentoring. 

So, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, walking, running or rolling, your money will go a long way in supporting the cause. Every step, and every penny, really does count. Please help me to support The King’s Trust and consider donating to my page. 

Thank you.

Step by Step Towards Mild Exhaustion

Friday 8th May
This May, I’m taking on the 200,000 step challenge for The King's Trust — because apparently I enjoy suffering with a purpose!

So I've dusted my fitbit off and dragged the kids out (have you ever tried getting a 17 year old and 15 year old away from a screen? Thats a challenge in itself) 

But honestly, it’s been good fun — and it’s all for a brilliant cause. The King's Trust helps young people gain confidence, skills, and opportunities for the future, so every blister is worth it.

If you see me wandering around aimlessly this month, don’t worry.
I’m not lost.

I’m getting my steps in. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
