Story

Next week I’m going to be taking part in the Scilly Swim Challenge - a 15km day long swim between the Scilly Islands. To say I’m bricking it is an understatement!!!

I’m taking the opportunity to raise money for the wonderful Age UK Barnet where I’ve been fortunate enough to work for the past 3 years. They support people over 55 living in Barnet with information, advice, activities, befriending, etc. - I’m so proud to work there and would love to make this god forsaken swim worth all the worry by helping them raise some money!!

I’ve recently been involved in the setting up of a community food growing garden at Age UK Barnet. All food grown will be used in lunches for clients who attend our Demenita Day Opportunities. Some of the money raised here will directly go towards this project which I’m so passionate about!

Thank you for reading and please donate ! :)
