FCA Cymru fundraiser for Comfort Cases UK
Rachel Griffin is raising money for Comfort Cases UK
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
To raise money for Comfort Cases FCA Cymru are holding a joint tournament, where families from North and South Cymru will come together to compete and showcase their Football skills. During our fun tournament we will have lots of other activities that will get everyone up and moving including, sports day races and fun games. On Sunday 16th we will be encouraging our families to get their steps in and keep moving, whether it be hula hooping, dancing, hop scotching, jump roping or walking, the goal is to have fun and raise awareness for an amazing charity!
Comfort Cases UK provides children entering the care system with a bag of bespoke belongings (comfort cases) they can call their own when they have been removed from everything and everyone they know. Filled with essential and comforting items such as, books, PJs, toiletries, soft toys, blankets and even SIM cards for older children.
Four out of five children report their treasured belongings are shoved in bin bags when they move from home to home – risking precious memories being lost or damaged. Comfort Cases are invaluable and offer far more than just the items inside – they offer a sense of belonging, safety and security to children when everything is crumbling around them.
Comfort Cases UK volunteers fill the rucksacks with essential items of comfort and necessity and the charity works with over 100 local authority teams, organisations, NHS trusts and residential care homes to distribute the rucksacks to those in need within local communities.
We want to support Comfort Cases in the work they do, ensuring that children have something special to put their belongings in and essentials that provide comfort and security."
