Why Emma's running
Running the London Marathon on Sunday 25 April is a huge personal challenge — and I'm proud to do it for The Mulberry Bush, who help children affected by trauma heal, rebuild relationships, and get back into education. Every donation helps them reach more children who need it.

The Mulberry Bush

For over 75 years, The Mulberry Bush has given children affected by trauma a place to feel listened to and understood — and a way forward. Their motto says it all: Transforming troubled lives together.

💗

Heal

Specialist therapeutic care for children who've lived through trauma, in a safe place where they can build healthy relationships.

🤝

Rebuild relationships

Helping children trust again — with the adults around them, with other children, and with themselves.

🎒

Back into education

Getting children learning again, so trauma doesn't decide the rest of their story.
