In October, I am running the London Marathon. 'Why?' you might ask? I'm still trying to figure this one out myself...
All jokes aside, I am proud to be running on behalf of the NSPCC. My employer Resource Solutions have partnered with the NSPCC and Childline, and over the course of the next year have committed to raising at least £30,000 - the cost of ‘keeping the lights on’ at Childline for just one day.
Childline is a free service for children and young people, there for them when they are vulnerable and have nowhere else to turn. In 2021 alone, Childline staff and over 1,200 volunteer counsellors around the UK were able to deliver over 200,000 counselling sessions. But, sadly, only 3 out of 4 calls are answered because of the sheer number received daily. And this number has risen during the pandemic.
That's why I need your help - by helping me raise enough to help support this and together, raise enough to cover the cost of keeping Childline running for just one day.
Please give anything you can, no matter how small!
