I am fundraising to support the launch of The Switch's innovative new school programme in September 2022, helping local students thrive and enabling them to create positive and successful futures.

I am lucky enough to volunteer with The Switch as a reading partner in a school in Tower Hamlets, the London borough in which 56% of children live in poverty.

Being able to support an 8-year-old with her reading means so much to me and reminds me how impactful (and fun) inter-generational connection can be. To support the great work that The Switch does and celebrate their 30th year I am undertaking the Big Half marathon in London. If you anyone would like to support and sponsor I would be very grateful!
