This October I am taking on the Swim the Channel challenge where I will complete the 22 mile distance to France in my local swimming pool while raising money for Bridge2. I will aim to complete this challenge within the month/4 weeks.

Bridge2 is a charity focused on serving the asylum seeker, refugee, and local community throughout the central Liverpool area. Since 2018 Bridge2 has been supporting people who are escaping persecution and war zones; assisting them as they transition into a purpose-filled life in the UK. They offer a variety of services such as: English classes and cultural classes, skills workshops and art workshops, support groups, and practical support like clothes, toiletries, and food.

After the awful events that happened around the UK this summer I wanted to stand with the people who have been made to feel not welcome and raise money for such a great cause that is already doing this for the refugees in and around Liverpool!

If you would like to follow along with my progress I will be posting updates on my Instagram @hannahtroughton

I really appreciate any support given!

Thanks so much
