63% of the prison population have been excluded from school, which shows just how drastically a school exclusion can affect a young persons life. Not only is this devastating for the young person, but this is also has a large societal cost of £370,000 per excluded young person over a lifetime. This is a huge price to pay for not looking after our young people properly. This is why Lawrence Dallaglios charity, Dallaglio RugbyWorks, strives to change the lives of these young people, disengaged from education, by teaching them key life skills to help them build more positive and productive futures for themselves.

I am taking part in the 2024 Dallaglio Cycle Slam and cycling through the hills and mountains of Italy to raise vital funds for these young people. Make this staggering 1400km distance and gruelling climbs that bit easier by donating to my page and supporting this fantastic cause.

Thank you so much for your support.
