Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

For the past seven years, I have volunteered for a fabulous charity called Acton Homeless Concern and for the past two, I have been involved in many of their fundraising efforts.

The Charity
The Damian Centre supports around 150 people every day - offering breakfast, lunch, drinks, sandwiches and shelter 5 days a week. They provide clothes, counselling, medical services, advice and safety for people who are homeless, hard-up, mentally ill or just down on their luck. In the past year, the number of visitors to the centre has increased by a staggering 30 per cent - showing the scale of the problem in London.

My Challenge
After doing 'my bit' for the past two years, I've now decided to make this a personal focus for the next twelve months. I have set myself a target of raising £10,000 for this wonderful charity. This is no easy challenge and to reach it, I will need all the help I can get!

Not more requests for money...
I fully appreciate the number of requests you must get for any number of worthy causes and I'm well aware that for many, it's been a tough year. Still, I'm hopeful that as you're reading this and you've logged onto Just GIving, I've pretty much convinced you to donate a few quid.

About Just Giving

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.

 

My Commitment to you

Whatever amount you donate over the course of the next twelve months, I make this promise to you:

- I will work tirelessly to hit this target

- I will be innovative, creative and downright cheeky in my attempts to raise much-needed funds for the charity

- I will provide complete transparency on how I'm getting on - this page will see to that!

- I will keep you updated on what the money is spent on

- and I will be forever grateful to you for being so generous

 

Thanks very much

Vanessa
