I have been collecting for Christian Aid for almost 50 years, and have spent the last 39 years organising the local Christian Aid Week collection throughout Knaphill. Each year we have raised on average £2,000 from our collection week, which we then donate to Christian Aid to support their charitable projects. 

Due to Covid-19 and the lockdown restrictions, it hasn't been possible for our local collection to take place this year and I have been looking for a socially distanced way that I could do my bit instead.  

So, I have decided to undertake a sponsored litter pick in the Knaphill and St John's areas of Woking, near to where I live. I intend to spend at least 20 hours over the course of September, come rain or shine, tidying up our streets. 

I initially set a target of £500, and then £750 but they have both been broken already which is truly amazing! Due to the amazing generosity of you all I'm setting my sights even higher and am going for a new target of £1200 instead.

Please show your support by adding a donation here and give me the motivation to reach my target!
