Once again we thought it would be a great idea to donate to a very worthy local charity in lieu of sending Christmas cards.  We can wish each other a Merry Christmas and raise much needed funds for a fantastic local cause - one that we supported in our LoSS 10k.

NB  We are supporting a particular Mencap Project.  Therefore, please quote "SMASH" in your message so that the funds go to the right place, rather than the general Southend Mencap pot.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
