Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to go through the pain/horror/elation of running another marathon to raise money for SWAN. During my time working there I have seen what a hugely important charity it is, but it needs your help! Counselling / therapy is vital for so many people's well being, but often is expensive, has a long waiting list, or is only offered for 6-12 weeks. At SWAN, clients only pay what they can afford, can be seen quicker than through statutory services, and can stay as long as they need. We are not funded externally, meaning we are not forced to hit targets and outcomes, but can work creatively with clients to help them meet their own goals. However, this means that we have no external sources of income so rely heavily on donations to keep the service going. Your donations will go towards ensuring that the most vulnerable people in the community will continue to receive this invaluable support. 

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
