On Saturday 25th June people of all ages are going to fill their wellies with jelly and walk up to a mile (some younger participants will walk a shorter circuit!) to support the work of Safe Families locally in Derby and across the UK. 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 .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.
