Walk the Talk

I'm taking 42,000 steps to help young people. Can you help?

🚶‍♂️ On Sunday, October 13th, I’m walking 20-miles (@42,000 steps) from Hampton Court Palace to Buckingham Palace, to raise vital funds for The King’s Trust. 🌟

🧠 Did you know? One in five young people in the UK has missed school or work in the past year due to mental health challenges. This is where The King’s Trust steps in, empowering tens of thousands of young people annually with the confidence and skills they need to unlock their full potential.

💪 Join me in making a difference! Your support can help transform lives. A donation of £100 could provide the specialist equipment that paves the way for a lifelong career for a young person on the margins of society.

🙏 Let’s build a brighter future together. Thank you for enabling The King’s Trust to be a beacon of hope for young people when they need it most.

🌟 Donate now and help play a part in the King's Trust's incredible journey! 🌟
