Story

It's my absolute pleasure to be a Trustee at two OnSide Youth Zones, one in north London and the other in Wolverhampton. Both do amazing work supporting around 8,000 young people every year!

Potential is everywhere, but not every young person gets the opportunity to explore theirs...money shouldn't be a barrier to achieving one's potential, but sadly it is. That's where OnSide Youth Zones come in. They're incredible spaces filled with energy, inspiration and highly skilled youth workers who truly believe in young people - built in areas of deprivation.

I've taken on the challenge of swimming (in a lake, eek!), cycling and running 26km at Blenheim Palace to raise money in support of these two wonderful charities.

I'm definitely putting myself well and truly outside my comfort zone with this triathlon. Any support you can give will be a huge boost to my final training efforts, but more importantly will help make sure that more young people have the opportunity to shine, no matter their background.
