Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Home-Start Royston and South Cambridgeshire is a local charity affiliated to Home-Start UK. Through trained volunteers it provides support to families with young children facing potential crisis because of isolation, bereavement, illness, poverty, domestic violence and more. Children can miss out on the most important years of their lives because of such family stress. Eight years as a trustee with Home-Start have more than convinced me of the amazing difference the support of this charity can make in such circumstances, preventing the escalation of problems and the need for the involvement of statutory agencies.  It builds confidence in both parents and children, and opens doors to a happier and less stressful family life. Cuts in statutory funding mean that such valuable local charities are under threat, so fundraising of this type is vital.

The Royston Rotary Trust  has organised this swimathon to benefit other charities as well as itself, by allowing participants to share equally the funds they raise with the Rotary Trust Fund and a charity of their choice.
