My Great North Run Walk · 12 September 2021

The Vulture Club was founded in 2012 and we became a registered charity in 2014 following successful funding from statutory commissioned services in the local area to support people affected by drug and alcohol abuse. We currently operate in the heart of Whitehaven town centre where we offer a 5-day week program of activities, delivered by our team of 2 members of staff, 1 paid facilitator,11 volunteers which includes a further 5 facilitators and our Trustees. 85% of staff, volunteers and Trustees have lived experience. Our team are from West Cumbria and through our own working experience and participation within the drug and alcohol recovery field in Cumbria, we felt and understood that there was a real need to provide contextual support to people who were trying to recover from their substance addiction in our community, and that’s when we formed the Vulture Club.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are not great runners so running the Great North Run is not going to happen! However, doing the distance in a much more appropriate style for us is going to be a great way to raise a bit of money for Vulture Club in Whitehaven.

Vulture Club do amazing work to help people on their path to recovery from addiction to a range of things that can seriously impact on their lives and those of their friends and family.

I hope I can raise a little money to help in some way.
