Charity
The Whitehawk Inn, is a Brighton based, award winning charity, has been chosen as one of only six Official Local Charities for the 2012 Brighton Marathon. The Whitehawk Inn, current holder of The Argus Appeal’s ‘Charity of the Year ‘and Brighton & Hove Council’s ‘Best Community Initiative’ awards, works tirelessly to offer those residents of Brighton & Hove who have, for some reason, ‘lost their way’ or are ‘searching for a new direction’ every chance possible to find their new life. As a community led organisation, the charity’s dedicated and passionate workforce provide information and advice about learning and work, offering a range of support activities for adults. The Centre itself is a bright, local community hub that provides visitors and learners with an inspirational environment in which to spend time with people who genuinely want to help them to move forward. In just over a decade, The Whitehawk Inn has helped more than 7,400 people. 70% of whom live in an area of deprivation and 92% have known barriers to participation that result in social exclusion, poverty, low educational attainment and skill levels, poor work prospects, poor health and family breakdown. Inside just three years The Whitehawk Inn supported 200 people back to work and thus resulted in a reported improvement in their quality of life, including increased self-confidence, motivation and a feeling of being more connected to others in the community.

Andrea Fox's fundraising page
I'm running my first (and last) marathon on Sunday 15th April! How did that happen?
If you don't know me, hello! I am Andrea Fox and I am a radio presenter and newsreader for Brighton's Juice 107.2 FM. I'm one half of the ‘Guy and Andrea Breakfast Show’. That's my day job but I also write for magazines, I do stand-up comedy, run music gigs and some times, if you're very lucky, I bake cake.
I am running for the Whitehawk Inn. (No it's not a pub. Yes it was once a pub.) I wanted to run for a local charity, somewhere where the money I helped raise could make a difference to people in my community, and local charities often need all the help they can get when it comes to promoting what they do and getting vital funds.
The Whitehawk Inn is a life line for local people who need everything from advice on money and benefits they're entitled to, to help with job applications and even courses to help them learn skills to get them work, or just the self-esteem to get out there and do what they want to do with their lives.
Apparently, in my life I want to run a marathon! This is my first marathon. It will probably be my last as well, so this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to sponsor me. I have run two Brighton half-marathon’s in the past, which have foolishly lead me to the belief I can do 26.2 miles on Sunday 15th April.
The more you sponsor, the faster I run. I will give everyone of you a home baked cake. Just send a stamped addressed envelope.

Your cash IMMEDIATELY goes to the charity, which is great isn’t it?
