This year my dad and I are walking the 84 mile route from Bowness on Solway to Wallsend (and maybe a bit more if we fancy) in aid of Irish Community Care Manchester.

We are staying in, and carrying, our tents so 100% of donations will go to ICCM.

Irish Community Care is a registered charity, which exists to identify and respond to the needs of both the Irish and Irish Traveller communities across Manchester.

ICCM currently offers a range of front-line information, advice and outreach support services including welfare benefits advice and advocacy, support around homelessness, seeking more appropriate accommodation, poor health, drug or alcohol misuse, cultural and social isolation alongside a wealth of community activities and groups.

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.

Thank you for donating!
