60 MILES IN JUNE... in 2 WEEKS?! Let’s gooo 💃

Our amazing youth worker Lauren is taking part in the 60 miles in June fundraiser to raise money for the mental health charity Young Minds.

In Lauren's own words "ADHD me forgot I signed up (until I was sharply reminded when I opened my fundraising T-shirt in the post) so I now have TWO WEEKS to do 60 miles in June! 💪🤣

The young people of Saturday challenge have spoken- I'll be doing a mix of hopping, dancing, Zumba and nature walks to complete my 60 miles of stepping 💃

Please support by donating whatever you can to my fundraiser so this wonderful charity can support young people with their mental health! THANK YOU ❤

We'll be sharing videos along the way so you can follow Laurens progress, but for now here's a snippet of a one of our young people teaching Zumba at our last disability pride event.
