I'm running the Royal Parks Half on 13 October for StandOut!

I love to challenge myself, physically and mentally, and to set a goal to help me achieve it. If this goal can include giving back to an organisation I not only work for but has also given me and our participants so much, then running a half marathon is easy. Ok it's not easy, but it's worth it!

StandOut is an award-winning charity that empowers people to make positive change, realise their potential, and rebuild their lives after prison. Their unique programme begins in prison with coaching and practical support and continues after release, for as long as someone needs.

On the intensive course in prison, people can discover who they are and what they want to achieve. It’s here that they develop a relationship with StandOut that forms the foundations of their work with them after prison.

Each journey is individual, and leaving prison isn’t easy. It’s why StandOut provides one-to-one coaching and support that bridges the transition between prison and the community.

With your support we can ensure that more people leaving prison are empowered to make positive change that has an impact on them, their families, and society.

Thank you!
