” I think back to the first conversation I had with a Jigsaw South East support worker all the time. It felt like I was finally speaking to someone who got it, and actually, rather than feeling more helpless I felt more hopeful. The guidance, support, warmth and positivity has been so valuable and has helped shape how I approach the future for myself and our children.”

After successfully gaining a ballot place for London 2025 I immediately knew I wanted to run for Jigsaw South East. As someone who works here, I see firsthand how much the support we offer means to grieving children and families — and every step I took felt like I was carrying them with me. To this year’s runners: it’s tough, but you’re doing something truly powerful. Soak it all in, and know that you’re helping to bring light to young people during their darkest times.
