ABOUT MOVE FOR KIDS’ SAKE
Welcome to Move for Kids’ Sake. We hope you will join us and get moving to support mental health for young people in our community.
While we are all working hard at staying healthy by social distancing, we may find ourselves going a little stir-crazy, this event will help. We encourage everyone to get up and MOVE! Participants will challenge themselves (and each other) to be active and in doing so raise pledges in support of young people in South-West Durham and Northumberland
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP!
During this time of social distancing, it is more important than ever that we protect and support meaningful mentoring relationships for young people in South-West Durham and Northumberland. We are committed to continuing our work and finding new ways to deliver life changing, developmental relationships that foster resilience in the face of adversity. We know that exposure at a young age to adversities like trauma, mental health, abuse and loss of a parent can negatively affect the developing brains and bodies of children and youth. Safe and caring relationships are a powerful force in combating these negative effects. This is why Big Brothers Big Sisters is working hard to keep our virtual mentoring programs going.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-West Durham and Northumberland currently serves over 500 young people and another 30+ young people are currently waiting for a mentor. Help us close the gap between children waiting and children served. All proceeds from our Move for Kids’ Sake will help support mental health for young people in our community.
