I'm running my FIRST EVER marathon in the hopes of raising money for Team Domenica's brilliant Wrap Around Programme.

Team Domenica support young adults with learning disabilities into employment through the use of internships, classes and direct training in one of our several cafés throughout Brighton. The Wrap Around scheme provides further support to those individuals that have successfully gained employment and has increased the national employment average from 25% to 95% for individuals that have completed similar internship programs! Needless to say, this makes a huge difference in their lives. My target of £750 will help provide funding for 1 individual for an entire year!

Katie (pictured above) is an example of one such individual. Katie secured a job at the iconic i360 in Brighton back in 2021 after completing the training program at Team Domenica. What makes Katie's journey even more inspiring is that, years later, she still benefits from free access to the Team Domenica Wrap Around Programme. This indispensable initiative offers ongoing support to our graduates long after they've entered the workforce.

I began working with Team Domenica last year as their production chef and have been able to experience first hand the positive impact the charity has on the adults here. The amount of confidence and independence they gain from such a program is inspiring. So please consider donating to this great cause (and bear in mind that the furthest I've run before this was 5k).Any amount you can give would be greatly appreciated!
