Story
I am going to run 2.6 miles everyday between 26th April-1st May. To add an extra challenge, I will be fasting during this period as it coincides with Ramadan (which means no eating or drinking during daylight hours).
The Covid-19 pandemic will have a devastating effect on our income this year and beyond, due to the cancellation of some of our fundraising events. At a time when weve seen the number of people calling the NABS Advice Line rise by 41%, the number of calls increase by 53% and a 27% surge in requests for financial support, #NABSNeedsYou more than ever, to ensure that we can continue to support everyone in our industry that needs us. The London Marathon was due to take place on Sunday 26th April and NABS has lost out on valuable funds as a result of its cancellation alongside a predicted downturn in charitable donations, so were asking you to take part in the 2.6 Challenge in support of NABS, to help us to help our industry.
Any donation amount would be gratefully received.
Where will my money go?
£500 - Would pay towards a rent deposit for an individual fleeing domestic violence
£200 - Would help towards essential utility bills for a family in financial distress
£100 - Would support an individual living with depression, by providing a therapy session
£50 - Would provide an essential food package for an individual out of work due to health problems
£20 - would help with interview travel expenses to get someone back into work following redundancy
£10 - Would give a child a birthday gift voucher, in a family struggling to manage financially
Or please donate whatever you can afford, every pound raised will enable us the continue our vital work supporting our industry through these unprecedented times and beyond.
