My story
Since returning to England, an old friend introduced me to a very important local charity, 'A Way Out' (http://www.awayout.co.uk/)
They help vulnerable young people in the Teesside area, who are embroiled in situations such as domestic abuse, homelesness, substance mis-use and prostitution. 'A Way Out' provides education, support and encouragement to lead safe, healthy and positive lives.
I want to help by jumping off the Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough (attached to a bungee rope) and asking you, my friends to donate money towards this excellent cause.
The jump happens on February 12th 2012 so if you can, please donate online or in-person!
The bridge was built in 1911 and has featured on TV on shows including 'Billy Elliot', 'The Fast Show' and 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet'. It will be approximately a 150ft drop and I'm not friendly with heights above 20ft.
£10 could pay for 20 copies of a drugs awareness leaflet. A simple leaflet put in the hand of a vulnerable child could prevent them experiencing the harm caused to 1000's of children and young people through substance abuse every year
£30 could pay for one hours counseling for a young woman who has been sexually exploited
£50 could run our education, rehabilitation and support centre for one hour
£100 could pay for a one day personal development program for a young man with mental health needs
£230 could run one week of community based youth outreach project, providing on average, 40 young people experiencing poverty, a range of positive, healthy and safe activities.
£400 could fund a health promotion worker for one working week.
