I've raised £2000 to fund a day at the seaside for up to 144 children under 5 and their parents/carers
Organised by Christel Warn
Story
Once upon a time, there were 6 mums (Marie, Lorraine, Christel, Jane, Lucie and Sharon who was on another duty when the picture was taken) who went to work for Central Greenwich Children's Centres (CGCC). There were assigned very impactful tasks for the Woolwich Riverside community.
Their mission is to organise and fundraise for activities/services for children under 5 and their families. Their next task is to raise enough money to fund 4 coaches to take some of them to the seaside. So they decided to run a race together.
CGCC works with almost 3000 children under 5. While many have caring & supportive parents, families and others looking after them, unfortunately, many experience social isolation, domestic violence, poor housing and are affected by poor parental mental ill health and substance misuse. They need to feel safe, have fun and build up happy memories.
Every year CGCC takes families to the seaside. Here are some quotes from parents:
"I have never been to the Seaside with my kids, they have only seen it on the Telly, they are going to love it." Sonia Viner
"I have never had the money to take the family to the seaside so it is brilliant to go with the Children's Centre" Vienna Smith
So please donate now!
However big or small is your donation , it will make a huge difference to them.
£5 will fund a healthy packed lunch for a child
£10 will fund a place on the coach for a child
£30 will fund a place on the coach for a mum and 2 children
Thank you in advance for your support!
