Xpress Labels, a printed label manufacturer in Aylesbury, is proud to announce their charity partnership with Youth Concern Aylesbury. Youth Concern is a remarkable charity that was recently praised in Parliament by local MP, Laura Kyrke-Smith. Their essential work for Aylesbury’s 13-25 year-olds, including emotional support, a youth food bank, counselling, and homelessness prevention, is crucial for our community. With 64% more young people seeking their services this year, their role has never been more vital.
“Together, we aim to address local inequalities and support the well-being of Aylesbury Vale’s youth. Let’s work together for a brighter future for our young people,” said David Ross.
Fundraising Starts with the Aylesbury Parkrun
Xpress Labels has a series of fundraising events planned, aiming to raise over £9,000 for Youth Concern. This money will fund the accommodation for a venerable local young person in our town for 6 months.
The first fund raising event is a 5K run on Saturday, 14th September. Xpress already has 10 staff members signed up for the run, some of whom are running for the very first time since their school days. The Aylesbury parkrun is very popular and being local, is the perfect setting for the launch event.
Jack Clark, Director and participant, mentioned, “Many of us haven’t ever run before and will be working hard and stepping outside our comfort zone to do this. Some will be building up to this challenge by means of couch to 5K preparation.”
