I am raising funds for The Prince's Trust, challenging myself to hit 10,000 steps a day in the Future Steps Challenge. Your donation can provide life-changing support to help young people realise their potential. YOU can give young people hope.   Here is what your donation could mean:   £5 could pay towards an English qualification for one young person, unlocking unlimited potential. £10 could provide a young person with an employability mentor, empowering them to access life changing career opportunities. £20 could give two young people the chance to speak to our helpline and get critical advice they need in a time of real uncertainty. £30 could provide a young person with the vital gift of a mentor to provide guidance and support during this challenging time. £55 could give a young person a face-to-face hour-long session with a youth worker building their confidence, resilience, and motivation during this challenging time.

Did you know that we have a team of practitioners that volunteer their time and services to offer differently abled children and adults Body Stress Release? In the words of our BSR Outreach Founder, Sure Tredoux: "Working on the various Outreaches fills my soul. It's part of my life purpose to help grow our BSR Outreach programme. BSR helps ones body to function optimally. Surely that should be available for all humans, regardless of their circumstances." See below link for some poignant moments between practitioners and the children at just one of the outreaches. https://lnkd.in/d5B-P7SX
