Having finally completed the Wainwrights last year, Jon needed a new challenge. It's been a while since he's walked the Yorkshire 3 Peaks and fancied walking it again...this time, so did Lindsey!
As it's quite a challenge, we decided that we'd use the challenge to raise some money for South Yorkshire Chaplaincy and Listening Service, who Lindsey works for.
SYCLS (website: https://sycls.co.uk/) provides vital support through their Listening and Chaplaincy services, empowering individuals and strengthening communities across South Yorkshire. One of their beneficiaries describes how the Listening Service has helped them:
“I was exhausted and depressed and didn’t really have anyone to confide in. I found myself talking non stop in my sessions as it was such a relief to finally “unload” feelings that had been “bottled up” for ages. I felt heard and understood . [As a result of the listening sessions] I feel calmer and my anxiety levels have lowered, I am in a better position to cope with the difficulties in my life. I have also reached clarity on certain decisions.”
