Ashley Robinson is the Project Manager for UR4Meals. Outside work, he spends a lot of his time in the gym or road-running, and he has set himself the challenge of completing his first marathon to help raise funds for the charity: the Thames Meander takes place on Sunday 9th August.

I’m running my first marathon on 9th August, to raise much needed funds for client welfare support at The Upper Room.
As they try to move forward in their journey out of homelessness, many of the people who come to us need help replacing a lost or stolen phone, obtaining government ID, or simply covering travel costs to appointments, interviews or training. These small interventions can make a huge difference at a critical point in someone’s journey.
I am hoping to raise at least £2,000 so that we can continue providing this kind of direct support to people rebuilding their lives.
Any donation, no matter the size, would mean a great deal. Thank you so much for your support.
