Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and also a big thanks for everyone’s support as last year we raised over £1,800.

So here I am again looking for your generosity again to help raise money for the Princes Trust.

As a school Governor for the past 5 years I have seen the challenge children face first hand and support from the Princes Trust is something that is vital for so many children who are struggling  at school and who are at risk of exclusion. Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.

Many of the young people they help are in or leaving care, facing issues such as homelessness or mental health problems, or have been in trouble with the law.

Their programmes give young people the practical and financial support they need to stabilise their lives and help develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.

So please donate all you can either my the mile or just whatever you can afford, every bit counts.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
