MEDITATORS FROM DHAMMA DIPA & PADHANA RUNNING TO SUPPORT OWL GOOD NEIGHBOUR SCHEME IN ST. WEONARDS, ORCOP, GARWAY & LLANWARNE
On 12th May 2019 a group of volunteers from Dhamma Dipa & Dhamma Padhana will be participating in a sponsored fun-run in Hereford, with the proceeds going to OWL Good Neighbour Scheme - a friendly neighbour scheme covering the areas of Orcop, Garway, St Weonards and Llanwarne (the areas which surround Dhamma Dipa & Padhana).
We would like to contribute a little something to the local community. We are grateful for the good rapport with the local people and we would like to raise some money for a good cause in the local community, especially for one in the surrounding areas. We are hoping to get to know our neighbours, as well as to give our neighbours opportunity to get to know us. In the previous 2 years the runners raised around 600£ for the Llanwarne Village Hall. This year they would like to raise some sponsorship for OWL Good Neighbour Scheme. This is a friendly neighbour scheme covering the areas of Orcop, Garway, St Weonards and Llanwarne. Services include gardening tasks, odd jobs around the house, looking after pets, transport to appointments, collecting medicines, library visits and others. Everybody from these areas can call if they need assistance with any of the activities. The OWL scheme was launched by Herefordshire Council and Diocese of Hereford to tackle loneliness in the rural areas.
The runners will be racing 5k, 10k, half marathon and perhaps even full marathon!
Please feel free to spread the word to your family and friends and come to cheer the runners on on the day itself - we hope to see many of you there!
With best wishes,
runners from Dhamma Dipa & Dhamma Padhana
