From T (22 November 2024):

Having successfully raised £4700, including £540 sent to help those devastated by hurricane Beryl in Jamaica in July, I am setting myself a new target of £6000.

Generous people have raised funds to help me as an adult survivor of CSE. Then I raised funds for Swinton Lock Activity Centre through Other Words For Anger (OWFA). I have found that I enjoy raising money to help others who have suffered.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THIS POST (ON 13 July 2024):

AN ENORMOUS THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED RAISE £4000.

This revised target was reached on 12 July 2024.

Contact LH for an update about what funds have been used to date and what the plans are for the remaining funds.

T is a young mother from Rotherham, who suffers from chronic back pain

T set herself the target of swimming 10 lengths of a 25m pool once a week for fourteen weeks.

A total of 250 m x 14 is 3500m, more than 2 miles.

T's funds will help her achieve her dream to:

1. produce an initial publication of her writing.

2. create a brand that incorporates the artwork that helped her heal.

3. create an enterprise that helps others to heal through art.

4. succeed in buying her Council house.
