I am raising money for The Simon Trust and I would be so grateful for any support that you can offer. The photo I am holding is from 40 years ago when Sally and I did the London Marathon together - we were much fitter and younger in those days! The photo made the front of the Evening Standard.

We are raising money for three projects involving Linden Farm - an on-site Allotment, an extension on an Alfold church owned building and an activity centre at the nearby Alfold Larder. These will all provide wonderful activities and opportunities for those with severe autism at Linden Farm - hopefully for the rest of their lives. Arts, crafts, music, film nights, jigsaw puzzles, speech therapy, train set, exercise bikes, gardening, sensory garden and computer skills are all spheres of activity that will be well covered by these new buildings.
