Story

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thank you&nbsp;for taking the time to visit&nbsp;our JustGiving page.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whilst&nbsp;cycling the length of the country&nbsp;last&nbsp;June, Rob inspired a number of people around him to take to&nbsp;up cycling again&nbsp;after many years, or to challenge themselves to cycle further than they currently did. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">This June, Rob is leading a group of four men, over five days, in an excursion&nbsp;which covers 320 miles and takes them across the width of the Country. The Barmouth to Great Yarmouth challenge will give the team a taste of Rob&rsquo;s trip in 2010 and extend the fundraising efforts for </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">St Paul</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">&rsquo;s. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">What&rsquo;s the money for?</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last year 20 adults with learning and physical disabilities enjoyed the pleasure of making something in wood or discovering the magic of the written word. There was another group of unemployed folk who we&nbsp;supported to push their personal dream of self employment further. Hundreds of people from broken and chaotic situations had their homes furnished for free. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">One of the current aims of the charity is&nbsp;to renovate&nbsp;the old hall attached to </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">St Paul</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">'s&nbsp;to create space for more of the above.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: small;">Why give money to such a charity? Because Christian Concern makes a real tangible difference to identifiable people on a low budget. Because the staff and volunteer team work tirelessly to create an environment that is family, fun and fear-free. As a charity Christian Concern has a history of not spending money on fundraising; all the money you give will go to the Hall development.</span></span></p>
