Tori's marathon fundraiser for Silversmiths & Jewellers Charity

EDP Lisbon Marathon · 25 October 2025 ·

The work of the Charity is nationwide. Its role is unique in embracing every sector of the Trade: manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. By means of regular financial support or one-off grants it assists both current and retired Trade employees or their spouses who live anywhere in the United Kingdom and who find themselves in need because of poverty or sickness. Many grantees have given a lifetime’s service to the Trade; others have tragically been denied that opportunity having been struck down with illness or disability at relatively young ages. The many appeals received by the Charity for special assistance often come via other charitable organisations or from social services departments unable to help through the benefits system. Many of the cases dealt with are deeply distressing and it is a fallacy that examples of real poverty can no longer be found. Contrary to the popular misconception the State does not always provide and those who have fallen upon hard times through no fault of their own have to turn to the Charity to help make their lives a little more pleasant especially in old age.

Story

On October 25th I’m running my first ever marathon (26.2 miles!!) along the coast of Lisbon to raise money for the Silversmiths & Jewellers Charity.

Since moving to the UK, I've had the privilege of working closely with this charity and have seen firsthand how much of a difference they make. It's often assumed that everyone in the jewellery trade is well off, but that's far from the reality. Illness or unexpected challenges can leave even the most skilled craftspeople in difficult situations.

The SJC was established over 180 years ago to help those who have fallen on hard times. They provide financial help, wellbeing support, and a real sense of community when it’s needed most.

My fundraising goal has been updated to £2620, which is £100 per mile.

If you can, please donate and help me reach my goal for an amazing charity. Every pound truly makes a difference.

Thank you for supporting me and this charity!
