I’m running the Great South Run to raise funds for Home‑Start Portsmouth, a charity I’m a huge supporter of. They provide practical and emotional support to families who are facing challenges — whether that’s coping with young children, managing isolation, or navigating difficult circumstances at home.

Home‑Start’s trained volunteers work directly with parents, offering guidance, confidence‑building, and a reliable source of support when life feels overwhelming. Their work strengthens families, improves wellbeing, and helps children get the best possible start.

Every donation goes straight into delivering this support — funding volunteer training, family sessions, outreach work, and the vital services that make a real difference across Portsmouth.

I’m proud to run for a charity that consistently shows up for local families and helps them find stability, resilience, and hope.
