Southampton Jelly Welly Walk · 18 June 2022
We are going to walk a mile with jelly in our wellies to make sure that no family goes through a crisis alone. For many of the families that Safe Families volunteers come alongside, life is really hard. But it's not always obvious that people are struggling. It's a bit like seeing someone walking along in their wellies, and not knowing that they are actually full of jelly, and the walk is so much harder because of it! The mum who feels too anxious to leave the house with her children, or the single grandad who had suddenly become a full-time carer to his grandchildren and feels overwhelmed and isolated. We can only continue to support families like this with your help. So this summer we will be walking a mile with jelly in our wellies for the 2,000+ families supported by Safe Families volunteers. As we squelch, gloop and slosh along every pound raised will go towards providing the support and connections a family need to help them with the challenges life throws at them.
