Loads of you have achieved far greater challenges than a 10km run. And you have all been digging deep to sponsor great casues. But I am asking you to dig once again . . .

The Lighthouse Group gives young people a second chance. TLG works with kids who have been excluded from school, at risk of exclusion or are at crisis point in their education. The teenagers they work with have often suffered and are victims of circumstances far beyond their control. When young people are given recognition and a glimpse of what it’s like to achieve, their behaviour reflects this and that transformation is possible.
