50k for the Homeless
In the summer of 2018 I will be donning my plimsols and trekking 50k around the Peak District in Derbyshire, in the hope that my friends and colleagues will sponsor me and my chosen charity "The Wellspring". This local organisation gets no government or lottery funding and is 100% dependant on donations and fund raisers like me. They have supported over 1500 rough sleepers off the streets and into accommodation. They actively engage with people who are at risk of becoming homeless therefore preventing homelessness from happening. The Wellspring provides educational courses, computer courses, art classes, other activities such as football, walking groups and gardening courses - to help make people feel valued and to give them purpose.They provide crucial health services, including a drop in service from a GP and referrals to other specialist services, such as drug and alcohol teams. Free food and drink is available 365 days a year - there are no means tests and no judgement, if your hungry they will feed you. They also provides people rough sleeping with showers and clean clothing, as well as blankets and sleeping bags. They support everyone they can with 1-1 support planning sessions and advice. They save lives and really deserve our support. Here is the link to my fund raises page please give generously:
You can help me raise money for this great cause by donating directly to my fundraising page - https://www.justgiving.com/paul-danson1
JustGiving sends your donation straight to The Wellspring (Stockport) and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more. Thank you for your support!
