Francesca's fundraiser for The Ruth Winston Centre

Francesca Bull is raising money for The Ruth Winston Centre

Everest Base Camp · 28 September 2026

The Ruth Winston Centre is a welcoming community activity and resource centre based in Palmers Green, supporting people across Enfield and the surrounding area. We believe everyone should have opportunities to remain active, build friendships, learn new skills and feel part of their community. Through an extensive programme of affordable activities, practical services and social opportunities, we provide a friendly and inclusive place where people can connect with others and enjoy a greater sense of wellbeing and belonging. For many of our members, the Centre is much more than a place to attend a class. It is where they can meet friends, enjoy conversation and feel recognised and valued. We welcome people from different cultures, backgrounds and walks of life, creating an environment where everyone can feel comfortable. The Ruth Winston Centre is an independent, self-funding charity. Donations help us maintain our building, keep activities affordable, support our services and continue providing a safe and welcoming community space. Every contribution, whatever its size, helps us bring people together. Your support enables more local people to take part in activities, develop friendships, improve their physical and emotional wellbeing and remain connected to the community around them. By donating to the Ruth Winston Centre, you are helping to reduce isolation, encourage independence and ensure that this valued community resource can continue to support local people.

Story

Everest Base Camp... what was I thinking?

This September 28, 2026, I will be trading my comfortable bed for a sleeping bag as I embark on a challenging personal trek to Everest Base Camp. This journey is not just about pushing my limits; it’s about making a meaningful difference by raising funds for The Ruth Winston Centre, a fantastic local charity that fosters community through classes, activities, friendship, and unwavering support.

The Ruth Winston Centre is more than just a community hub—it’s a lifeline for many who seek connection, activity, and relief from loneliness. My trek will be filled with long days of walking, thin air, aching legs, and moments of doubt—but every step will be fuelled by the knowledge that your support helps keep this vital community alive.

I am aiming to raise £2000 to ensure The Ruth Winston Centre can continue its fantastic work. Your donation—no matter the size—will make an incredible impact.

If you feel inspired to support both this worthy cause and my adventurous spirit, I would be deeply grateful.

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page; donating here is simple, fast, and secure. Your generosity means the world to me and to everyone who benefits from the centre’s invaluable services.
