Hi everyone! I am running a half marathon in May to raise funds for London Nightline, a charity that runs a helpline for students open every day of term from 6pm-8am, so that students are never without someone to talk to on the phone or text if they are struggling with their mental health.
What is great about them is their helpline is run by student volunteers, who might be able to understand what students calling are going through. I also would like to run for Nightline because of how supportive they are of their volunteers. providing training in active listening and empathy, so volunteers are able to create a safe space for callers where they can talk about whatever is on their mind. They have an office space where volunteers can do their volunteering with others, rather than volunteers dealing with challenging calls remotely.
So in short I'm really excited to complete my first 20K for such a brilliant charity! Anything you can spare to go toward my fundraising goal I'd be so grateful for. If you aren't able to donate, sharing my fundraiser would be so helpful! All donations will go to London Nightline's work supporting students with their mental health.
Thank you so much!
