Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page, for the Manchester Branch of FareShare.

As a member of the Cargill Cares Council in Manchester, who supports FareShare Manchester, I am helping to organise a sponsored walk up Scafell Pike on the 9th May.

If enough people sponsor me I will even do the walk!! Although at present I am looking after logistics and coordination at the base starting point.

FareShare as an organisation distribute “in date food” to needy people and charitable institutions through a really deprived part of East Manchester. It is amazing to see the hard work and dedication put in by the team of volunteers that work at the FareShare Manchester depot – a really worthwhile cause that does not get a great deal of publicity but is very well deserving charity. Please help me to help them and meet my target.

Please help me to achieve my target, which Cargill have agreed to match fund every pound we make as individuals. We hope to get some 70 to 80 people to do the walk and raise a meaningful sum to allow FareShare to continue supporting the needy around Manchester.

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

So please sponsor me now!

For all donations, please enter a comment starting 'Ref: Manchester' to ensure the funds are directed to the Manchester arm of Fareshare. Thank you again.
