Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page...

***UPDATE MARCH 2026***

Wow what a week! It was a stressful start when I was notified that the page had closed. The reason behind this is that the original end date had been reached of February 2026, so it had stopped receiving donations. I find it hard to believe that its been 5 years since I opened the page. Completely incredible.

Obviously this was very stressful as we are still in the middle of our fundraising but one thing this whole lesson taught me was how important this page is, and not to take it or the people who find this page for granted.

I would like to thank Magzy, a dedicated follower who regularly donates for her vigilance and communication to notify me as quick as possible that there was a problem. I am also very grateful to Tessa at the YAA who was hands down on it, reaching out to 'Just Giving' and her efforts resulted int the page being reopened.

It would have been devastating to have had to start back at the beginning as we all love to see the numbers going up, the targets being reached and the lovely messages that are on the page.

'CWC' will be returning on March 20, 2026 live on Instagram after a break due to ill health and work commitments.

There will be some changes coming to the management of my Instagram page @clairehartford1111 again due to work commitments. But the principle will remain the same. There will be a time change to 4:44pm GMT in the hope that this will enable me to be more consistent around my commitments.

As always, we a still celebrating this page and moving towards our £100,000 goal. I would like to thank everyone who has visited this page and contributed to the total raised so far especially last year as I have not been able to be as present as I would have liked, due to health and working commitments.

As of March, 1 we are currently at £89,115 towards our £250,000 goal. So lets keep the energy flowing to the page and continue to raise all important funds for this life saving charity.

Many thanks again.

Sending you all so much love and light.

Claire

***UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2024***

We are still celebrating this page and moving towards our £100,000 goal. I would like to thank everyone who has visited this page and contributed to the total raised so far especially as I have not been able to be as present as I would have liked, due to health and working commitments.

As of September, 1 we are currently £85,287 towards our £250,000 goal. Incredibly with gift aid added this takes us to £93,000 (only £7,000 away from a staggering milestone).

Lets keep the energy flowing to the page and continue to raise all important funds for this life saving charity.

Sending you all so much love and light.

***UPDATE**** OCTOBER 2023

This page was started on Friday February, 19th 2021with an aim to try and raise £250,000 for The Yorkshire Air Ambulance.It takes £19,000 to keep this service running per day and this charity rely on the generosity of the public to help fund this service. If you are able to give a small amount it would be very much appreciated as every donation no matter how small, helps to save lives and to get us one step closer to achieving our £250,000 goal.

In the last 32 months, we have raised over £84,000 (including gift aid) to support this cause by raising awareness through my the Daily Guidance live Instagram show 'Coffee with Claire.'This is incredible considering we are a small collective group of people from all walks of life and from all corners of the world, who have been brought together on a spiritual journey to help this local charity.

Support has come in from Australia, New Zealand, America, The United Kingdom, Greece, Belgium, Denmark, South Africa, to name a few. I would personally like to thank you if you have given up your time to help, shared this link or have donated to this page. I have so much appreciation and gratitude for your generosity and for all your beautiful energy! I could not make this happen without your support. This is very much a team effort and thank you again for being on this journey with me.

If you have just found this page and would like to follow me please join me @clairehartford1111 on Instagram.

This page is in memory of Patrick McDonough, a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, son and brother who sadly did not get the chance to return home to his family, after a sudden and tragic cycling accident in October, 2015.

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance attended the scene and did everything they could to try and save him, but sadly Patrick passed over. By raising money for this charity, we can honour his memory and those who tried to save him.

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is often referred to as the 'Angels of the Sky,' so lets try to keep the energy flowing to this page so that they can do their very best to help bring loved ones home.

19th October 2023

I would like to personally thank everyone at the Yorkshire Air Ambulance for nominating me for an award for the efforts achieved to date with our fundraising page. I am truly humbled and have gratitude for this acknowledgement. It was an honour to receive such an important award but I do this as a collective and therefore I accept this on behalf of everyone in this soul family. I feel so proud to be part of this amazing charity.

Thank you for reading. Love, light and blessings.

Claire
