Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
I have not raised any sponsorship via my running for over 5 years, because I know how easily 'charity fatigue' can set in, but I agreed to help Dockland Settlements (a small London based charity that is a client of LGT Vestra's) once I realised that they support local communities in boroughs such as Newham, Southwark, and Tower Hamlets. Having lived in Tower Hamlets for a while, I know how tough it can be for families living there and the centres that DS runs do make a really big difference. Part of their focus is on childcare (to take the pressure off working Parents), but they also provide a variety of sports for people with disabilities, as well as activities for elderly people to help tackle feelings of isolation and loneliness.
This is a small charity but it is a worthy cause!
It may also help to know that their admin costs are less than 7p per pound of the monies that they receive.
