Help Holly hike over 400 miles for charity
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Holly, Chairperson at a village nursery in Norfolk, getting a front row seat to the effects of the woeful underfunding facing the Early Years sector.
I'm working to raise money jointly for Pregnant Then Screwed and Pebbles Children and Family Services.
At Pebbles we are seeing a sharp increase in the number of children with special educational and physical needs and we know that this is Countrywide and is likely to continue to increase each year. I want to make sure that our setting is catering to the needs of these children and their families. Depending on how much we manage to raise I would love to use the funds to:
- Provide more of our staff with specialist training.
- Refurbish areas within the setting to ensure that they are accessible and have sensory needs in mind.
- Purchase resources and equipment designed with these needs in mind.
Pregnant Then Screwed is an organisation doing incredible work for all parents and for the Early Years sector. There is too much to describe in this introduction, but if you are interested there is a link here for you to investigate their work. I attended their Norwich 'March of the Mummies' in October 2022, photographing the protest and documenting that in a video on my YouTube channel if you are interested, which details why their work is important to me.
In 2024 I'm going to be undertaking 7 Ultra Challenges - hiking about 550km across 7 events (plus all the training on top of that!).
