A team of Londoners are running for love.
Here's why:
Here's why:
Their goals aren't astronomical, all they're looking for is £150,000 to build a trauma recovery centre to help sex trafficked children.
If everyone who read this just gave ONE pound, we could smash the target in no time.
You can visit the website for more information on how to get involved & you can donate here.
I know lots of you are trying to say "YES" more this year, do it now.
Done! Good luck! xo

Rosie did you see all the donations via The Londoner???!! Go LONDONER!!
ReplyDeleteRosie! I am so happy to see that you are supporting and promoting this cause. I have worked with girls who have been rescued out of trafficking for several years now. It is a great joy to see it on your blog, and even more of a reason to keep following your adventures! Thanks for brightening my day, like always!

Done! Thank you Rosie for bringing this to our attention :)x
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna give something to them and I would love to do the same post tomorrow on my blog.

Thank you Rose

Rosie, may I share this post on my blog today?
DeleteNeed your agreement !
Thank you babe
So proud of you for using your platform to spread the word about a worthy cause. You go, Glen Coco! xo

ReplyDeleteThis is great! Good luck to them! x
ReplyDeleteJust donated! I had promised myself I wouldn't spend any money for the next month as we're saving for the deposit on our wedding, but dipping into my savings doesn't feel so bad when it's for causes like this. It's lovey to see you are using your amazing blog to help causes like this. Thank you for sharing their story! Yet another reason your blog is one of my absolute favourites xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Rose,
ReplyDeleteI am writing to ask some advice. You probably read loads of soppy emails a day asking for advice and I have often read the ones posted on here and thought your replies are perfect.
It's hard to know exactly how to ask this question and of course, it is a big thing writing something personal online- but I think you'll know the answer.
I am 16 and broke up with my boyfriend a few months ago. As it is a new year a want to learn from the mistake I made being with him...because of the mistakes and the way the break up made me feel, I now feel as though no one will ever want me. There is this boy I have liked for a long time (I thought nothing would ever happen with him and so when my ex asked, I felt I might as well). These guys are friends so it's a bit awrkward.
I'm sorry for this embarassingly long 'note', and I guess what I'm asking is do I encourage the guy I like (I think he likes me) or do I not??

Oh honey, ok firstly you're ABSOLUTELY not the first person to feel the following things:
Delete1. You made a mistake dating someone.
2. You'll never find someone else.
3. Things with your ex have fucked up your future.
Welcome to the human race, anyone who has been through a breakup has thought these exact things!
I don't have enough fingers to count how many of my BEAUTIFUL, clever, gorgeous friends have sobbed and said "Noone will ever love me again!", male & female... it's all bollocks (sorry but no other word quite sums it up!).
1. Everyone you meet is either a blessing or a lesson. Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean it didn't happen for a reason. Either way you'll have learnt from your mistakes & hopefully you wont have to make them again.
2. Most people find love. Murderers, rapists, dreadful dreadful people find love. You really think you're the exception? You, with all your kindness & charm, you're the unlovable one?
I don't think that's true. You just haven't met them yet, or maybe you have & you weren't ready before.
3. Don't let a failed relationship get in the way of a potentially great new one. I have lots of friends who've met their soulmates through old lovers & even an ex-husband or two! Your ex doesn't own you or his friends, he'll just have to get over it.
I would try and be fairly quiet about it until you think it's going to blossom into a real relationship though. It's not worth the drama of people finding out just for the sake of a couple dates.
Go for it! Years from now you'll regret the things you didn't do, not the ones you did.
Keep your chin up, beautiful. I can faithfully promise you that you'll be fine.

I'm sorry but when I read Helen's post I thought - is she serious? She posted that she feels that "no one will ever want me" under a blog entry concerning sex trafficked children?!?!
DeleteAm I really the only one who feels that this is insensitive and inappropriate?
I don't want to sound harsh but really...
Thanks for such useful advice, so eloquently put, as ever. It's always such a struggle moving on.
DeleteIbbs x
Done!
ReplyDeleteGreat cause!
Hope they hit that target!
I shall donate as soon as my next paycheck arrives! (College student, I just spent all of my last paycheck on books. Hooray!)
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I saw the word "runnning" in the title of your new post and got all excited that you finally blogged a wee fitness post? Haha!
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness though, this is awesome. Such a beautiful thing.

ReplyDeleteHi Rosie!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask when the deadline for this is. Since I'm only fifteen I don't have an internet bank account. It really is a coincidence that today I applied for one, to be able to save up money for university (I live in Holland and want to go to England, but as we all know studying abroad is expensive as hell). But it'll take a couple of weeks before I'll actually be able to use my bank account.
I think this is a wonderful cause and I'll be glad to give up some of my well-earned savings to help a bit, so I'm really hoping it won't be too late.
I have bookmarked this page so I won't forget ;)

Thank you for writing about this. So important more people become aware. Mahalo (thank you) from Hawaii!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a remarkable endeavor. I chair a Human Trafficking Task Force here and just today spoke at a Pastor's Briefing on Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking. Thank you for taking a moment to highlight this issue. I will definitely share their site on my FB and Twitter and hopefully help generate some funds!
ReplyDeleteRose, THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this. I'm not part of the Love 146 team but I am half Thai and have witnessed first hand the trafficking of people into forced labour or sex, especially children. I've been working alongside a similar cause based here in Southeast Asia. It's sickening, and violating that these individuals no longer believe that they have control over their own body - It's a pressing issue that we need to address. Sex tourists and organised trafficking circles are the most vile, disgusting scraps of shit in this world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cause!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the team!!

Yes just donated. Lovely to see that you're using your popularity for the good.
ReplyDeleteI've been saying yes to everything lately and signed up to the Lynx Space Academy. I'm obviously not as admirable but would really appreciate your votes for a chance to go to space.
