Story
I manage an out of hours crisis service that offers face to face support 7 days a week, 365 days a year between 5pm-1am. We offer non-clinical emotional support and a therapeutic alternative to A&E. Being able to offer a safe space for those who are struggling is amazing, but we face one barrier when it comes to transport into the sanctuary.
Due to lack of public transport out of hours, people struggling financially, unable to drive or get a lift in, getting to the service is a struggle. After raising money last year we were able to offer more people financial support for ubers, taxis etc to access the service. We have seen a huge increase in visits because of this and more people getting the help they need ❤️ So this year I thought I'd do it all over again! First is the Newport marathon on the 13th of April. I've also signed up to take part in the Gower peninsula ultra marathon on July the 19th! Any donations will be hugely appreciated 🫶 This will be my second marathon but my first 50km ultra...Wish me luck...thank you!
