On 5 March 2017, runners from Mills & Reeve and FIDAL, our French affiliate firm, will be taking part in the Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon. The target is to raise £500 for Blue Smile, our Cambridge office charity for the year.
Blue Smile is a Cambridgeshire children's charity that provides arts-based, long-term therapy and mentoring in schools to help troubled youngsters fulfil their true potential and have happier childhoods. It can quite simply be life-changing and so far we’ve helped transform the lives of more than 400 children in eight schools.
Blue Smile offers counselling to children aged three to 13 experiencing a variety of issues such as bullying, depression, neglect or abuse at home. Its aim is to provide support early in a child’s life, by helping them to deal with painful feelings and experiences and learn better coping strategies using an arts-based approach. Such early intervention can really turn things around for them and break the cycle of deprivation.
