Story
In the next 7 days the #swimandtonic team: Rachel, Rhianne, Penny, Kevin, Heather & Mel set off to swim the channel as a relay team, swimming an hour a each till they get to France.They don't speak French or like swimming in the dark so please say double prayers and pop a few pennies in the pot to make it all seem like a good idea! We are supporting the work of Grapevine Cov and Warks:
Grapevine Cov & Warks: Too many people live on the edge of coping. They never open up their prospects of a better life. It’s wrong. That’s why we’re here. We help people experiencing isolation, poverty and disadvantage to build better lives.
