Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

So what's this all about....... 10 years ago, not having run anywhere since being at school, I foolishly decided to run the London Marathon. Now, 10 years on, and not having run since, approaching 50, older, greyer, and clearly not one jot wiser, but having a new role at Centrepoint with responsbility for our fundraising events like the marathon, I have been re-visited by this mad notion. I'M GOING TO RUN IT AGAIN, AND WHAT'S MORE I HOPE TO BEAT MY OWN TIME!!!!

I am asking you to support this lunacy. Why?........ well read this (click on link):

Sam's Story

Now you know why we do what we do, this is what your support can do;

£10 provides one night’s secure accommodation for a homeless young person

£20 pays for one hour of one-to-one support from a front-line support worker

£30 pays for materials for an educational workshop for between 5-10 homeless young people

£50 gives a young person the chance to attend a session on personal motivation preparing them for work.

£100 provides meals, secure accommodation and support for one young person for four days

£175 covers the cost of a trained specialist counsellor for one week. 

£250 covers the cost of a course in job interview techniques for five young people

So the more you can give the greater the benefit for homeless young people. So none of this minimum donation business....... this is over 26 miles. YES, 26 MILES...... COUNT THEM!!!!!! So c'mon, at least a £ or two (let's say two) per mile...... at least!

Don't forget to Gift Aid your donation if you are a UK taxpayer - for every £ you donate Centrepoint receives an extra 28p at no extra cost to you.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
