Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

During 2021, and for the next few years, many motivated, determined, but vulnerable and / or disadvantaged young people will be looking to enter the job market or set up their own new businesses in an unpredictable and daunting economic environment. They need help to find the opportunities and to make the most of them.

I have looked for a charity that guides and assists these young people specifically, and decided that I’d like to support The Prince’s Trust. I believe that the vulnerable and disadvantaged people they help are such an important, but often overlooked, part of our future. 

If you're not already familiar with The Prince's Trust, please take a look at their website, www.princes-trust.org.uk, to see the great work they do. 

Right now (January 2021), owing to the current restrictions, the Trust's mentoring schemes are at a standstill, so I've decided to help with some fundraising instead. 

As we're supposed to avoid travelling as much as possible, I'm going to set myself the challenge of running one thousand, five hundred miles on a cross-trainer. 

By running those 1,500 miles. with your support, I'm determined to raise (at least) £1,500 to help the Prince's Trust give more young people a chance at a great start to a productive career.

I'm looking forward to my challenge and I'm starting right now - 1st January 2021 - and I'll post regular updates as to my progress. 

There’s an added bonus, of course; I’ll be a bit fitter and have more energy to put into volunteering when the time comes

Here's to a great 2021 - thanks for your support, it really will make a difference. 

Thank you! 
Jane.
