Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Starting on 7 August, with 2 companions, Richard and Tony, I will be attempting to walk the length of Worcestershire in 3 days from Tenbury Wells to Ledbury, via Abberley and Malvern. That's 45 miles and 7000 foot of climb, including 2 crossings of the Malverns, which is equivalent to scaling both Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis from sea level. We have chosen this route because it links the most northerly and southerly offices of Citizens Advice South Worcestershire (CASW). On the way, we shall call in at our main office at Malvern.

CASW is a charity that provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice, information and advocacy to thousands of local people each year. We are seeing significant increases in the demand for our services at the same time as our sources of income are increasingly difficult to sustain. All the money we raise will be donated to CASW to use wherever the need is greatest.

Why "80 not out"? Because this year Citizens Advice celebrates 80 years of service to our nation. CASW has set itself the challenge of having 80 events to recognise those 80 years. Our walk is one of those special events. We want to make a significant contribution to ensure that CASW can continue to help anybody in our community for years to come.

We do hope that you would like to encourage us on our trek by using this page to donate to CASW. We shall be giving our time, sweat and boot rubber so please be generous and give what you can. I can assure you your money will be put to excellent use.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

We provide free, independent, confidential and impartial advice throughout South Worcestershire. We aim to empower people to help themselves, make informed choices and resolve their problems. Our professionally trained advisors help with a wide range of issues. We can’t list all the subjects we deal with, but examples include: money and debt, benefits, employment, housing, family and relationships. Our service is free. We don’t tell and we don’t judge. We offer face to face support, with time for clients to explain things to us. Our support is practical too: we help clients to make phone calls, write letters, fill out forms, check benefits and support them to deal with unfairness or discrimination. We are an independent charity working as part of the Citizens Advice Network. We offer a free service because we believe cost should never be a barrier to help. Last year over 6000 people in South Worcestershire benefited from our advice and support. In order to keep our offices running, we need to raise £34 every hour (based on our average annual costs rounded to the nearest £). Fundraising for us If you are part of a group, school, company or other social network, please consider holding a fundraising event in support of our work. You’ll have fun while helping us to continue running this vital service on behalf of our local community.
