Story

I work for a financial services company in Brighton, and Team Domenica are one of our charity partners. 

I'm always inspired by the incredible work they do to support young people with learning disabilities - they really do make such a positive impact.

I want to support Team Domenica personally, as well as via my company. So I'll be running the 2023 Brighton Half Marathon on 26 February 2023 in order to raise much needed funds.

This will only be my 2nd running event and I'm very nervous about it, so I'd appreciate any donations - however small.

'People with learning disabilities are too often unemployed and marginalised in society, with just 5.1% finding paid work in the UK. Team Domenica is here to change that. We're here to give young people with learning disabilities a future. Through a range of training, education and support, we help them build the skills and confidence they need to find work. We then work with businesses in our community to remove barriers to employment. It works: our Supported Internship Programme has achieved an incredible 84% paid employment rate.'
