My story

 

Hi, thanks for visiting my page. I've somehow managed to get roped into doing a 2 day ride across the South Downs. Not only is that 100 miles but it's a total climb of over 3500 metres - or 3 x up Snowdon!

I'm doing it to raise money for my local YMCA, and in particular a group I'm involved with which gives opportunities for adults with learning and physical difficulties to get out and do something active and interesting on a every Friday evening. (details below)

I've been volunteering at the club over the past year and know how far just a few extra pounds would go in supporting this work and all the other important services that the YMCA provides.

I know this is a difficult time financially for lots of people, but I'd love it if you could sponsor me - whatever you're able. .

Thanks, Tom

 

Sports and Social is a sports based youth club for young people with learning disabilities that aims to provide opportunities for young people to develop new skills, make new friends and become more socially independent.  The club runs on Friday evenings and offers a programme of youth led sports and visits out.

The aim is to offer a relaxed social atmosphere where young people can enjoy each other’s company and try out fun and exciting new activities. We aim to make the club as inclusive as possible by going out and taking part in mainstream activities like gym workouts, bowling, golf at the driving range and trips to Brighton.

Many young people with disability have less independence than their peers and are unable to experience social events in quite the same way as other young people so this service is particularly valuable for many families.
