Phillip Carroll Ltd, are an accountancy firm based in Altrincham. We are looking to raise money for the Wood Street Mission in Manchester.

Wood Street Mission is a children’s charity helping children and families living on a low income in Manchester and Salford. https://www.woodstreetmission.org.uk/

We provide practical help to help meet children’s day-to-day needs and improve their life chances. Through Family Basics we provide struggling families with children’s clothes, bedding and baby equipment, and toys and books which are important for children’s wellbeing and development.

We promote engagement in education by helping families with the costs of going to school through SmartStart and run holiday Book Clubs to promote reading and improve children’s literacy. We also provide toys for children to have presents on Christmas Day.

We also raise awareness about child poverty through our communications, holding events and giving talks at schools, businesses and groups.

Our challenge through November is to virtual walk the length of the costal path of England. The length of the path is 3330 miles which starts near Bristol and goes all around the coast up to the border with Scotland. It starts again on the Cumbrian coast and finishes in Merseyside.

We are doing this by collecting all of our exercises during the month of November, converting them to miles and then calculating the distance. With only 26 members of staff, we are going to have to do on average 128 miles of activity.

I will keep you updated on the progress each week. We would greatly appreciate any donation.
