CASW Link Walk · 20 July 2016

We provide free, independent, confidential and impartial advice throughout South Worcestershire. We aim to empower people to help themselves, make informed choices and resolve their problems. Our professionally trained advisors help with a wide range of issues. We can’t list all the subjects we deal with, but examples include: money and debt, benefits, employment, housing, family and relationships. Our service is free. We don’t tell and we don’t judge. We offer face to face support, with time for clients to explain things to us. Our support is practical too: we help clients to make phone calls, write letters, fill out forms, check benefits and support them to deal with unfairness or discrimination. We are an independent charity working as part of the Citizens Advice Network. We offer a free service because we believe cost should never be a barrier to help. Last year over 6000 people in South Worcestershire benefited from our advice and support. In order to keep our offices running, we need to raise £34 every hour (based on our average annual costs rounded to the nearest £). Fundraising for us If you are part of a group, school, company or other social network, please consider holding a fundraising event in support of our work. You’ll have fun while helping us to continue running this vital service on behalf of our local community.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Citizens Advice South Worcestershire (CASW) provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to anybody who arrives at their door. We value diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination. Our professionally trained advisers can help with a wide range of human issues: nearly everything from before birth until after death. Last year over 6000 local residents with over 15,000 issues benefited from our advice and support. But we are an independent charity which costs £34 every hour to run. In these days of financial belt tightening every pound counts towards us being able to continue offering this invaluable service to our community.

I have therefore decided to carry out a 50 mile walk which links the offices of CASW. Starting in Broadway on Wednesday 20th July I shall walk north and west across South Worcestershire. On the first day I shall visit the Evesham and Pershore offices. On Thursday 21st July I expect to arrive at the Malvern office, via Upton and on Friday 22nd complete my walk in Droitwich. I hope to accomplish this soon after celebrating my 67th birthday.

I shall be walking along the streets, lanes and foot paths of the community that CASW serves.I hope my walk will symbolise the geographical extent of the CASW community and its variety of town & country. I also want my efforts to raise a significant amount of money for CASW to help ensure that it can continue to support our local citizens into the future.
