Story

Hey everyone! I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on October 9th to support Young Life on the Isle of Dogs (in London). Young Life is a Christian organization loving and supporting teenagers in their local community. I have been blessed by Young Life in the States and am encouraged to see that they have a growing presence here in the UK. One of my good friends is on staff here with Young Life and is doing amazing things to share and show the love of Christ with teenagers. Here is YL's London website for more details if you're interested: https://london.ylinternational.org

The Isle of Dogs is located in Tower Hamlets, which has one of the youngest and fastest growing populations of any local authority in England and sadly has the highest level of child poverty in the UK. Over the past decade there have been cuts to youth service budgets across London, including over 100 youth centers being closed. Tower Hamlets saw the largest budget cuts from £8.7 million in 2011-12 to just £2.1 million this year.

The UK is also facing a mental health crisis, based on the alarming numbers of young people being referred for emergency mental health treatment. This combined with the impacts of a digital age and the global pandemic means there is an immense need. Young Life London believes in young people and wants to help them find hope and purpose for the future!

Your support helps Young Life staff on the Isle of Dogs continue to support young people in the community through:

- 1:1 mentoring

- Day trips and events to try new activities and learn new skills

- Supporting local schools with personal development, life skills and well-being

- Development of regular clu

Young Life International

Young Life International, an expression of Young Life, an international corporation founded in the USA in 1941 and present in over 100 countries around the world, is a distinctive outreach to young people who are not involved in the church and who know little of Jesus Christ. For 11 to 14 year olds we are appropriately called WyldLife. For 15 to 18 year olds we are called Young Life and for teenage mums we are called YoungLives.. We believe every young person deserves the right to hear about Jesus in language they understand from an adult who knows and loves them. Over one million teenagers a year world-wide are involved in either WyldLife, Young Life or YoungLives.
