Story

Hello everyone! 👋

I'm lacing up my running shoes for Team Domenica. As many of you know, Team Domenica is a charity close to my heart, dedicated to providing innovative and personalised employment programs for individuals with learning disabilities. Their mission is to develop independence, confidence, communication, and work skills, creating a path to meaningful employment.

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to work alongside Bella, a remarkable individual, during her workforce placement at Marina Studios. Bella, at 23 years old, faces the challenges of Weidemann-Steiner Syndrome – a rare genetic condition encompassing learning difficulties, digestion issues, and sleep difficulties. Witnessing her dedication and enthusiasm was truly inspiring.

The initiative that Team Domenica champions extends far beyond job placement. It's a Wrap Around Programme that offers ongoing support to their graduates long after they've entered the workforce. This kind of support is invaluable, ensuring that individuals like Bella not only secure employment but thrive in their roles.

My decision to run for Team Domenica isn't merely about a running race; it's about joining a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for inclusion.

Your support is crucial in continuing this amazing work. By contributing to Team Domenica's Wrap Around Programme, you're directly impacting the lives of people like Bella.

Every donation, no matter the size, contributes to the success stories. So, please join me on this journey and thank you for your kind contributions!
