The Grateful Society is a Bristol charity which supports Charities who help elderly people within the city and surrounding area. Whilst our support is primarily financial, we also take time to interact with our service providers to ensure the funding we provide is properly used.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Despite in May 2024 saying I would never, EVER do a half marathon (or any sort of running!) again, I have signed myself up to the Weston Half in October! 🫣 Before 2024 I cannot express to you how much I was NOT a runner and completing the Bristol Half was an experience I will never forget, I sobbed as I crossed the finish line as I was in so much pain and I couldn’t believe I had done it either. No one could!

On Sunday 19th of October this year I am taking part in the Weston Half with my wonderful friend Sam. We are doing a proper training programme and everything!

I would absolutely love to raise money for The Grateful Society, a charity who supports some of the activities my Dad attends at the Nailsea Tithe Barn, as well as many other projects across the Bristol area supporting older people. The groups and clubs my Dad attends really do make such a difference to him, his mental and physical health, keeping him busy and socialising, easing the loneliness. It is wonderful to see and it takes the pressure off myself and my sisters, we do the best we can but also have jobs and children. We are so grateful for all the help and support we get in order to make Dad’s life as fun and enriched as we can. I’d be so grateful for any contributions towards this wonderful charity to enable my Dad (and others) to continue these brilliant groups d support other possible projects in the future.
