Charity
Action for Children supports and speaks out for the UK's most vulnerable, disadvantaged and neglected children and young people. We’ve been working with children since 1869, and currently run 420 projects across the UK supporting 157,000 children, young people and their families. This makes us the UK’s leading provider of family and community centres and services for disabled children and young people leaving care. We also promote social justice by lobbying and campaigning for change.

Hi, thanks for visiting our page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor us and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. We really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
Our team, Jake (aged 10), Nic (his mum) and Philip (his friend) are raising money for Action for Children.
Well, it is official now, we are heading towards the South Coast of England to pedal and camp, pedal and camp and pedal some more. Staying as close to the coast as we can, we estimate our mileage will be 660 miles, maybe a little more.
We are training at the moment - follow our exploits on our blog (link below).
This is a fantastic adventure, opportunity, challenge for all of us.
Jake really appreciates how important it is to give vulnerable children a chance to flourish and we want to raise as much as we can.
Thank you!
