Story

Hello lovely people.


Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. At the end of May, I'll be attempting to walk 100 km from London to Brighton (all in one go...) in aid of the Inner South West London Samaritans.


The Samaritans are there 24/7, 365 days a year for anyone who is struggling to cope and needs someone to talk to. They are a charity very close to my heart because of the work they do to reduce the number of people who die by suicide. 


Our branch is entirely run by volunteers and donations, which pay for everything from maintaing the branch, training new volunteers to providing taxis for volunteers to enable us to get to and from the branch safely during the night. I'm aiming to raise £1000, which would roughly cover half of the monthly branch taxi spend- this is so critical for our volunteers to be able to answer calls in the middle of the night when there is nobody else around.


Any donations are very much appreciated.
