Why the Merton Chamber Champs are Supporting Merton Giving?

The uncertainty of recent times is presenting a range of challenges for our communities and now, more than ever, our local charity sector is vital to the on-going health and well-being of our borough.

Over six days, leading up to 26 April, I’m going to run a marathon.  In government permitted bite-sized chunks!  Plus, my body would go into shock if I ran any further with just a few days notice.  If you are able to help support me, and more importantly Merton Giving, I would be most grateful.

Save the UK's CharitiesGeneral fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.This impacts all sectors of society from children to the elderly as well as the vital work in areas such as palliative care, serious diseases, mental health, housing support, food supplies and countless others that charities support.
