Good Luck to Clare from Kids Planet

Clare Roberts OBE – the Chief Executive of Kids Planet Day Nurseries is about to embark on a five-day trek to raise money for the EY Foundation

The challenging 94 mile trek across Cambodia from Siem Reap to Angkor Wat will take place between 3rd and 11th November, all in aid of the EY Foundation.  You can read the full story at the Kids Planet Website.

The EY Foundation is an independent charity committed to removing barriers to employment for young people from low-income backgrounds. They work directly with young people facing barriers to employment and with employers and social entrepreneurs in the UK to create and support routes into education, employment and enterprise​.

Young people on free school meals are growing up in households with an average income of less than £16,000. They use this as a means of qualification for their support as it is data held by schools and linked to poorer outcomes in education and earning potential later in life.

Their programmes tackle some of the major obstacles to social mobility in the UK.

Clare has already raised an impressive £11.7K for her challenge but would be grateful for your support.  If you can, please consider sponsoring Clare via her Fundraising Page.

How your support will help

Every penny raised could give a young person a place on an EY Foundation employability programme, and a chance to change their future.

Every donation you make will have an impact:

• £35 would provide a care-experienced young person with an hour of coaching support
• £100 could train a mentor for a young person
• £550 can provide a young person with two weeks of paid work experience

Good luck Clare from all the team at MIX56 and our listeners!  

Keep tuned in for updates!
