Raising money for

The Trussell Trust

Charity Registration No. 1110522

Our vision is to engage with communities and to introduce sustainable projects that break through cycles of poverty, restoring dignity and reviving hope. Many people, especially in these days of economic recession, have reached a point where they cannot even feed themselves and their children. The foodbank network, now in over forty-five towns across the UK, meets this need, feeding over 35,000 people every year, and helping them to find hope and dignity. In London the foodbank network is working with Premier Radio's "Love London" campaign with the objective of setting up a foodbank in every Borough in London. In our home town of Salisbury, in addition to running a busy foodbank, we have many projects that provide work and job opportunities for individuals with physical and mental difficulties. Our Re-Store charity shop this year won the Charity Shop of the Year "best team" award, reflecting the success of our work with supported volunteers. The work of the charity started in Bulgaria, the poorest country in the EU. Here we care for children and young people mainly from the Roma community, the most marginalised group of people in Europe. Projects include supporting an orphanage school and 'The House of Opportunity' residential training programme, which teaches life skills and provides employment experience to vulnerable tengaging with communities and introducing sustainable projects that break through cycles of poverty.

My story

Well I did it! I ran it in 5 hours and 7 minutes, on a glorious day in the New Forest (a little too glorious at times as it did get very hot). It was an amazing experience and I won't say I loved every minute but the good bits certainly outweighed the bad.

Thank you everyone who supported me, both in turning up on the day and cheering me on and just as importantly those of you who helped with raising such a lot of money for such a good cause. Thank you all.

You can still make donations on this page. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Trussell Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
