Some of the Change Together Girls meet JLS!

On Monday Laura, Hayley and Emily were chosen to be some of the lucky few to meet JLS to discuss what it was like for them being a teenage mum and their experiences of sex education.
The boys were lovely and seemed really interested in the project.

We even made it in to today's (Wednesday's) Daily Star with a link to this blog which is great!!


 You can see the article here and an online version at www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/212032?123.

Sponsored Bike Ride to Paris...

A supporter of Change Together, Simon Jones is helping to raise money for us by cycling 300 miles from London to Paris on Wednesday 7 September 2011.

A note from Simon...

Change Together are a group of young mums that are attempting to raise the £15,000 they need to complete their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards by cycling across Holland on tandem bikes with their kids in trailers. If they are able to achieve this they will be the first people in Europe to take their children with them while successfully completing a Duke of Edinburgh Gold Expedition.

It's an unusual but extremely worthwhile cause and these young women have been working hard for the past few years volunteering in communities throughout London to support other young mums - building confidence, self-esteem and self-belief while inspiring them to change their lives for the better.

If you'd like to help me help the young mums at  Change Together then please donate online at: www.bikeridetoparis.co.uk

Thank you for your support and see you all for a drink when I get back.

Wish me luck (and good weather)

Simon

So far Simon has raised £125 for us! :-)
