This September (2015) Mark who is visually impaired, will leave his guide dog Seiko onshore as his nephew Josh guides them both through 3.5 miles of sea.

Mark is a long standing member of St Michael & All Angels Church, Bedford Park and a regular at the Tabard.  

 The church supports a number of charities and this year Mark has chosen to help this particular charity.

Paul is a long standing drinker at the Tabard and likes getting wet.

Please support us and donate.

The Mulberry Centre provides practical and emotional support for anyone with a diagnosis of cancer, their friends and their families. They also support anyone who has lost someone they care about to cancer.

They offer a place for anyone affected by cancer to:

• talk in confidence.

• relax and recharge.                                                                                  

• access information.

• find support from others.

  All their services are offered free of charge and there are no age or postcode boundaries. The money that you donated really makes a difference to people affected by cancer. 

  The Mulberry Centre currently has more than 1800 people registered to use its services and it costs £360,000 a year to run.  Just so you have an idea of how much this money means, there is a sample list of how they may use money that is donated to them:

  *£10.00 will help towards providing guidance to someone who may be experiencing financial worries.

  *£15 could help run a support group so that people are able to talk to others going through the same journey.

  *£50 could help towards providing counselling sessions for someone undergoing chemotherapy.

  Thanks and wish us luck with the swim.
