We also fund holidays and special days out allowing families to make special memories together. We having a thriving charity shop in Bridport which helps raise funds for people with learning disabilities living in our local area and 100% of our profits are used to support people and projects in West Dorset.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you probably all know, I am a proud member of the Wessex Beardsmen and, to celebrate our return after Covid, we've added a new category to next year's competition. A six months sprint.

What is it I hear you ask? It's simple, I shave my beard off six months before the competition, let it grow back and whoever has got the best beard after six months is declared the winner.

So, this is just a chance to raise some extra funds for our chosen charity and for you to see me without a beard (a rare sight indeed).

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
