Welcome to our fund raising page.
Now some of you are wondering what is 'OLSGEIRE' well, we are a group from Enfield North London, who have formed together to make a difference to the community. The name of this group derives from our connection with our local church Our Lady of Mount Carmel & St George and our aim is to be Enterprising, Independent, Resourceful and Ethical.

This year we are again supporting James' Place.
James' Place mission is to stop men dying by suicide. In the UK, suicide is the leading cause of death for men with over 75% of suicides in the UK being male.
We believe that no man should face a suicidal crisis alone. James' Place provides free, life-saving therapy to suicidal men at their centres in Liverpool, London and Newcastle. We are cycling for the London centre.
Your donation could help save a man's life.
Our target is to raise £100,000 for James' Place by the end of the year, taking total fundraising over the years to one million pound.
Projects supported in previous years include:
Headway East London, the forgotten Irish in London, YI West Belfast, HCPT, LMBBS, Crumlin Hospital Dublin, Barts Heart Hospital London, Children in Kenya, St John Bosco Children's Camp Essex, regular food parcels for needy North London families as well as many other worthy causes.
