To support this truly life changing foundation, myself and a number of colleagues from across Salesforce will be cycling from London to Isle of Wight. Over 2 days, we will cover in the region of 125 miles, climbing 2300m on the saddle.

The Cause

One of the most significant barriers to anyone trying to resettle in the UK is a good understanding of the English language. Displaced young people often arrive as beginners in English speaking and reading, making finding their feet in new environments extremely challenging. Big Leaf Foundation run weekly full day English sessions, bringing young people together with teachers to work on building language skills. Your donation means that Big Leaf can continue offering this vital service.
