In September, I'll be taking to the road again to run another half marathon. This time for JAN Trust, a charity based in Wood Green which aims to empower vulnerable women to lead better and independent lives.
The Charity:
JAN Trust was founded in 1989 with the aim of improving the lives of Black, Asian, minority ethnic, refugee and asylum seeking (BAMER)women and youth by empowering them to overcome the barriers to inclusion they face.
They do this by providing key skills empowerment for integration; tackling violence against women and supporting victims of abuse - forced marriages, FGM, honour based violence, domestic violence and hate crime.We also work with young people and practitioners on issues such as violence against women and radicalisation.
The Run:
New Forest Half Marathon - 13.1 miles of multi-terrain through New Park Farm, Brockenhurst and the heart of the New Forest National Park.
