Give Young Carers a Break · 12 September 2008

The Lions Club of Windsor has raised around £2m through large and small events and corporate sponsorship. Not bad for a local charity club, however none of this would have been possible without its supporters and members - ordinary people doing extraordinary things! The club is part of the Lions Clubs International, the largest community service organisation in the world. It raises funds and provides services for those less fortunate locally, nationally and internationally.

Story

Hi everyone. On the Sunday 5th October at Windsor Leisure Centre I'm doing a sponsored swim, in aid of young carers in the Windsor area. Young carers are children who look after someone in their family who has an illness, disability or mental health problem. These children don't get much of an opportunity to lead a 'normal' childhood - they often bear the sort of emotional caring responsibilities that would be expected of an adult, and don't get the chance to enjoy themselves.

The swim isn't exactly climbing Mount Everest - it's just an hour's constant swimming alongside a number of the young carers and other adults. The money we raise will support outings and activities for these carers, and it's a cause I'd like to support, so  I'd be very grateful if you would consider making a small donation.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Lions Club of Windsor 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.

Thanks and best wishes, Kevin
