The daily commute isn’t usually a life-changing experience for most of us. But it was for Darren Sobers, who never imagined that flicking through a newspaper on the tube might one day lead to him trekking the Great Wall of China to raise money for the NSPCC.
“I don’t even normally read that particular paper, but I picked it up that day and saw an article about the trip,” he says. “In that moment, I realised I could use my time to benefit children who need protecting and safeguarding. It was just that Monday morning feeling that I could be doing more than this. I could do something really fulfilling and impactful.”
