On the 23rd April I will be running the London Marathon to raise money for United Response.

United Response are a charity that supports people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs, at home and in the community. Their mission is to ensure that people with learning disabilities, mental and physical support needs have the opportunity to live their lives to the full.

My Dad worked for UR as a Director for 28 years so it is a charity close to both my heart and that of my family. 

Thank you for your support! xx

More about UR below:

Since 1973 United Response has been fighting for a society where everyone has the right to live the life they choose, no matter their disability. United Response's first service was a single house for twelve adults in West Sussex. Now, we operate in over 350 locations, employing over 3,500 staff and supporting over 2,000 people. The core of our work is supporting people with learning disabilities and mental health needs to live independently. Increasingly, our services are developing into place-based community hubs where we facilitate active community involvement among the people we support. Everyone has the right to feel connected, have choice and respect, build relationships, be recognised for their strengths, and call their communities home. Your donations support people with learning disabilities to develop skills and gain confidence to live fulfilling and active lives.
