The Great Cumbrian Run (Half Marathon) · 6 October 2024

The Vulture Club was founded in 2012 and we became a registered charity in 2014 following successful funding from statutory commissioned services in the local area to support people affected by drug and alcohol abuse. We currently operate in the heart of Whitehaven town centre where we offer a 5-day week program of activities, delivered by our team of 2 members of staff, 1 paid facilitator,11 volunteers which includes a further 5 facilitators and our Trustees. 85% of staff, volunteers and Trustees have lived experience. Our team are from West Cumbria and through our own working experience and participation within the drug and alcohol recovery field in Cumbria, we felt and understood that there was a real need to provide contextual support to people who were trying to recover from their substance addiction in our community, and that’s when we formed the Vulture Club.

Story

I'm going to be running The Great Cumbrian Run to help raise funds and awareness for the Vulture Club Health and Wellbeing Centre.

They have helped me so much with the help and support they've given me to help me manage my anxiety and depression. They have had such a positive impact on my life, especially in helping me rebuild my confidence, so much so that I am currently a volunteer music co-facilitator there.

They are very much reliant on funding, and I would very much like try to give something back after all the help and support they have given me.

So I'd just like to try and raise as much as possible and anything you can afford to donate would be very gratefully appreciated. Thank you.
