Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been watching the news with an increasing feeling of sick despair. So many vulnerable children - April Jones, the victims of Jimmy Saville, Children in Welsh Children Homes. Unimaginable horror.

I decided that rather than sit there & feel hopeless, I would do something constructive. With social services cuts I am increasingly turning to Barnados for support at work. I know they work to support families & children & make a significant difference to many vulnerable children's lives every day. They are well worth running a long way for. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
