Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are abseiling down Peel Tower in Ramsbottom to raise money for Re>Build, a local charity who help people in need by:-

Providing essential household items by collecting unwanted furniture and white goods, then making them available to local families who are struggling to replace broken or worn out items such as beds, sofas, wardrobes and white goods. In any one year, between 1500 and 2000 families are helped with furniture, many from ex-armed forces backgrounds, who have mental health or other disabilities, are lone parents or people who have suffered domestic abuse.

The charity also supports local people by offering opportunities for volunteering or undertaking work experience. In doing so, they help prevent thousands of usable goods from being dumped in landfill. Over 50% of Re>Build's small workforce began with the charity as volunteers and are now able to support others.

RE>BUILD helps rebuild the lives of marginalised and disadvantaged people in the Bury area. We provide essential household furniture to make a house a home. We offer opportunity and hope through our supported volunteer scheme, enabling and empowering the individual to build, or rebuild, skills and confidence for life and work. Examples of the people we have supported include: Three refugees, Moses, Joseph and John who fled war-torn South Sudan came to us in their late teens and early twenties. Moses went on to obtain a degree in Finance and Accounting, Joseph became a radiologist and works locally, and John joined the RAF. All are still in touch and say the work we did with them was crucial to their integration and success. Sue, a lone parent who came to us for furniture when her child was just a few months old. Sue went on to become a volunteer with us and was supported through the next five years until she was able to obtain work that fits in with her son’s schooling. John, who came to us through a local drug rehabilitation centre. He started with us as a volunteer, became a paid staff member driving the vans, collecting and delivering furniture for 2 years, when he felt ready to move on. He obtained work supporting people at the very rehabilitation centre that had helped him and is still there several years on.
