Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As Master of the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers, I have undertaken to raise &pound;10K to supply the contents of a library for the "Free and Parochial School" in Hackney.&nbsp; They have a new library but few books and need the help of anyone who will.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As a first event, I and my Senior Warden Charles Fairweather will walk to all 40 Livery Halls in the City of London on 15th September, dressed in full regalia (which is heavy).&nbsp; The distance is about 8.5 miles.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please help.&nbsp; I am asking for your generosity for this, my Master's year, a position I hold for this year only. I do not intend to ask again in future years.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We can make a difference to a lot of childrens' lives in one of the most deprived areas of our Capital.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you would prefer to donate by cheque, please make it payable to Cordwainers' Charities and send it to : Cordwainers' Company, Clothworker's Hall, Dunster Court, Mincing Lane, London, EC3R 7AH.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please show support by grabbing your colleagues and Company to dig deep and donate now!</p>
