Story
I have been given an amazing opportunity to help a charity which is close to my heart.
https://www.railwaychildren.org.uk/what-we-do/
Working on the railway for over 20 years, with a big part of this time as Mobile Operation manager at Doncaster, I have worked with young adults and youths who have been homeless and living in or around our Infrastructure .
I have seen first hand the challenges they face with trying to get help and support.
This charity is one of the main ones trying to help young homeless people by giving much needed support.
If you can help by sponsoring me on our National 3 Peaks Walk in June 2023, I would really appreciate it.
This will be a challenge both mentally and physically but I am determined to complete it.

WHAT WE DO
We provide protection and opportunity for children with nowhere else to go and nobody to turn to.
Every year thousands of children across the UK, India and East Africa run away or are forced to leave homes that have become unbearable through poverty, abuse, violence and neglect.
Reaching a child as soon as possible is crucial to getting to children on the streets before an abuser can, and before they become entrenched in street life. We race to get to children before the streets get to them.
