Have you been missing live sport this past year? Not to worry, we've got you covered... We are 5 students at the Uni of Cambridge fundraising for It's a Penalty as part of their Student Ambassador Programme. As a team, we'll be attempting every single Olympic sport - which you can watch (and laugh!) at your leisure on our Instagram page @theolympicchallenge. It is estimated that 40.3 million people globally are enslaved today. In the UK, half of those in slavery are children. Modern slavery is a global issue, but it's also a problem in the UK too. One report suggest there may be 200 people in slavery in Cambridge alone. It's a Penalty is a charity which runs campaigns around major sporting events to raise awareness and prevent abuse, exploitation and human trafficking. Their campaigns include: the Commonwealth Games, the Olympics, the Super Bowl and the World Cup. It's a Penalty has reached 1.6 billion people globally, and has helped to protect 16,891 victims. Through the work of It's a Penalty and other charities, the tragedy of human trafficking is being tackled. So please donate, enjoy watching us look extremely athletic (or a bit stupid), and let's fight modern slavery together.
