I first came across Ark Resettlement Services in 2015, working there for two years as a Resettlement Coach. Based in North London, Ark gives people a safe place to live on leaving prison and one-to-one support so they can get back on their feet – rebuilding confidence, reconnecting with family and community, and finding work.

I’m now a trustee, and am fundraising to keep this work going. I have barely run more than 13k in my life and only Ark could make me to this... they are an incredible team doing incredible work!

Ark has just bought its first property - Lloyd Walker House - a massive milestone for the charity. Your donation will help us turn the unloved garden into a wonderful space for the 7 residents to enjoy, and for us to hold Ark community activities. Here it is:

And this is what the Endurancelife North York Moors Half Marathon looks like: http://www.endurancelife.com/north-york-moors.

Any donation however small will help me get through that brutal climb in the second half. Thank you! xxx
