Story
Earlier this year, I Crowdfunded £1000 to enable Countryside Mobility South West to get a Tramper All-Terrain mobility scooter to Lundy Island. We launched the Tramper on Tuesday 10th July alongside Living Options Devon and the Heritage Lottery Fund, who fund the provision of Trampers to various heritage sites in the UK. Trampers mean people who need help with mobility in areas of natural beauty and heritage, can again explore places they never thought they could again.
During the launch day it became apparent that another Tramper would be needed sooner rather than later so it has been agreed and ordered! I have volunteered to step up and try to fundraise another £1000 for the cost of the lease hire for the first year.
So my plea to you is to help PLEASE! Anything you can give for this wonderful cause will be very greatly appreciated. Causes like these change lives for the better. Please help if you possibly can.
Here is a photo of the first Tramper in action on the launch day on Lundy, on the 10th July. It is amazing and so easy to use!
Thank you so much,
Rachel

4 months ago£675 & 64% of target now folks. Plus £184 raised in the raffle at the acoustic night earlier! I will pay into the bank tomorrow and transfer into the fund. This is amazing and I’m so emotional right now. We’re nearly there! Hopefully we will have more than the target to pay in towards running and set-up expenses for Lundy too. Please give if you haven’t already- these Trampers will benefit so many people in the coming years. Thank you all so much ❤️

4 months agoOh my goodness! We are up to £630 & 60% of target after another generous donation!! There’s still plenty more to come in. It’s so exciting. Any funds raised over the target amount will go towards the costs of running the Trampers on Lundy such as the electricity to charge them and other costs. Let’s keep it going folks- were nearly there. We are doing a raffle tonight at my husband’s acoustic evening so hopefully that will raise some more funds. More in the pipeline too...... watch this space! 😃😃😃
