We help people get Out and About in Malvern & District. We have great volunteer drivers who use their own cars for transport & we have accessible vehicles including minibuses too. Our Men's Shed supports (wo)men's mental health and we run a volunteer mix & match service for local charities too.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I decided to take on my first 50Km run to celebrate turning 50 last year !

I hadn’t run regularly until I got to 41! And although I have done a few half marathon races (13 miles) this will be a HUGE challenge!

31 miles along the hilly Ridgeway between Oxford and Swindon . Following the ancient paths through fields ,up and down hills to end at the amazing prehistoric site of Avebury.

This event  will definitely stretch my inner strength , physical capabilities and mental toughness. 😬

           It’s only a marathon plus a 10k right? 😂

I am proud to have been a trustee for Malvern Community Action for 8 years  

This good cause is very close to my heart  

In my senior years I want to be independent, have the ability to do my own shopping and visit healthcare settings safely  

Malvern Community Action offer local people 

  • Shopping trips to supermarkets 
  • Day trips to garden centres and interesting places
  • Companionship through Sunday Tea Clubs for those who live alone 
  • Support on hospital visits. Not just a taxi service, but a DBS checked volunteer to sit and wait with them. 
  • A helpful friendly ear from our wonderful volunteers 

Thank you for any donation you are able to make. 

In these difficult times it’s vital our older people can feel supported and not alone.
