I am cycling from selhurst park to the vitality stadium in Bournemouth, to raise money for Palace for Life Foundation. It’s a great charity and I’m proud to help my football club give something back to their local community.

Palace for Life Foundation leverages the power of football and the Crystal Palace FC brand to change the lives of young people across South London, particularly the most hard-to-reach and hard-to-help. We work with over 13,000 people a year, inspiring them to find a better path and lead a healthier life. We provide football sessions for young people with a disability, to delivering engaging assemblies and workshops with free sessions in sport and other activities, alongside pastoral support, to instil positive values and help prepare participants for a better life. We have strong connections within the local community and businesses and run programmes designed to equip young people with the skills they need to think about their future careers. We believe that everyone matters, irrespective of their background and beliefs, and by giving extra support to the most vulnerable, we will help create a better community and society.
