About

I am attempting to do 500,000 steps during March, to raise money for Works +. Pollyanna Chapman and Elizabeth Webb, two people I have met during NETwalking sessions, have kindly agreed to buddy me on the challenge. Personally, I have seen how much walking has done for me during the lockdown, to improve my physical and mental health. The three of us would like others to benefit from our steps too. Works+ has been supporting young people in the Scottish Borders since 2018. Their unique approach prioritises confidence and wellbeing alongside developing skills and employability options. Depending on the needs of each client, they work either in small groups or one-to-one. If you're between 16 and 24 and unemployed, we can help you. Young people leaving school are having a particularly bad time of things at the moment, especially those for whom, whatever reason, school didn’t work for. The three of us have each pledged to match any donations (up to £500). Please give generously to this worthwhile cause. Thank you.
