About our charity : Crimestoppers Crimestoppers
Crimestoppers is the independent crime-fighting charity. We help to arrest 17 criminals every day and one murderer every 5 days. Crimestoppers runs the anonymous phone number, 0800 555 111, that people can call to pass on information about crime. We also have an anonymous online ‘Giving Information’ form that people can fill-out to pass on information. Some people fear the consequences of going to the police when they know about crime. Crimestoppers is there for them. Because the phone number is anonymous, callers are not asked for any personal information and calls cannot be traced. The 0800 555 111 phone number has been helping to find criminals and solve crimes for more than 20 years. We’ve received more than 1million phone calls with useful information about crime. It’s a system that works for everyone – except criminals. Crimestoppers works. Every day around 20 people are arrested and charged as a result of calls to Crimestoppers. With your support, we can continue fighting to make our society a safer place to live.

Our personal message:

In February 2007, I am taking part in the Westminster Challenge which is an arduous fundraising trek across the Arctic wilderness by husky dog sled with a cross-party team of Members of Parliament.  The team will travel through Finland, Sweden and Norway.

This exciting expedition gives me a great opportunity to raise the profile of the local and national charities I have chosen to back.

The funds raised will support three national charities (Cancer Research UK, The Children’s Society and Crimestoppers) as well as my chosen local charity, Whirlow Hall Farm Trust.

Whirlow Hall Farm Trust is a charity based in my constituency whose aim is to reach out to those children most disadvantaged in our society.

Based on a real working farm, Whirlow is able to offer young children, often from the most disadvantaged areas of Sheffield and South Yorkshire, an extraordinary opportunity to experience country life and explore a vital part of their environment.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: the charities will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

I am keen to raise the target figure of £5,000, and even more, to fund the charities' crucial work.  So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
