Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After unexpectedly getting place in the ballot for the London Marathon I’ve decided to raise money for a charity I have volunteered for since 2019. Now, more than ever, charities need help via fundraising. Please give what you can as it WILL make difference in the heart of our communities.

A Band of Brothers (ABOB) works with young men (18-25) involved in the criminal justice system. We provide them with the support they need to make the transition to an adulthood free of crime, and filled with a sense of belonging, connection and purpose.

This award winning charity uses a Rites of Passage  process and mentoring to help young men change the narrative and the course of their lives.

This can have a huge knock on effect not only in their lives but in the lives of those closest to them and the wider community. The severity of re-offending can drop by up to 80% be those who complete the process.

Putting one young man through this process costs approximately £2000, hence the target. A small price to pay against the wider impact of crimes committed in our local communities.
