I'm Stepping Up for Girls by walking 500,000 steps this October. Despite years of progress so many girls across the world are still being undervalued, undermined and underestimated. Held back by damaging gender stereotypes, harassed in public and even sometimes married as children. I am taking on Step up for Girls and raising funds for girls and young women around the world who deserve an equal chance in life. 

To sponsor my challenge click on 'Give Now'. All funds raised will go towards Plan International UK who are working to create a just and equal world for children, especially girls. They currently work in over 70 countries including the UK.  While there has been much needed attention recently on Plan's work supporting families fleeing the war in Ukraine, we mustn't lose sight of the opportunity to support girls everywhere to reach their potential.  If you are able to donate to my page, here is what your contribution could help achieve:

£9 is enough to send a girl to school in Nicaragua for a month 

£12 could provide a dignity kit to a girl in Mozambique so they can manage their periods the way they choose

£55 could support a Positive Parents group in Tanzania for a year, building up parents as allies against FGM and child marriage.

Thank you.
