MISSION: HEAT, SUPPORT, PROVIDE FOR VETERANS AND PENSIONERS

I am running 100 - 10k races across various venues in the UK for the veteran’s charity First Light Trust. My racing schedule will be updated in due course. My good friend Keith Slatter and my brother Lewis are also supporting this fundraising venture.

First Light Trust supports veterans locally focusing on three key area’s ending isolation and loneliness, preventing homelessness and supporting mental well-being. Our armed forces and emergency service veterans are the backbone and the true heroes of our nation serving on the frontline. I am extremely proud to support First Light Trust, alongside these three aims they have a goal for 2025 to provide a safe and welcoming Café Hub in London.

First Light Trust currently has six Café hubs located across the UK. These Café hubs are fundamental to achieving their core aims. The staff and volunteers of these hubs provide various activities and welfare support for members of their local communities such as pensioners and the elderly. Alongside military and emergency service veterans. All Café hubs are a safe, warm and welcoming environment.

The following donations would contribute towards the following:

£10 (10p a race) will provide food parcels and meal needs

£15 (15p a race) will provide 30 minutes counselling to support mental well-being

£20 (20p a race) will support the organisation of quiz nights to reduce loneliness

£30 (30p a race) will support the allocation of Bed and Breakfast accommodation to prevent homelessness

£50 (50p a race) offers half day support work reducing isolation

£100 (£1 a race) offers a full day support work reducing isolation, loneliness, homelessness and support mental health-wellbeing.

Every penny counts no matter how much, it will make a huge difference towards supporting our armed forces and emergency service veterans, the backbone of our nation. Additionally, maintaining café hubs will provide a safe, warm and welcoming environment for pensioners and the elderly within their local communities.
