We urgently fundraising for CLP, a local charity that runs arts,crafts, &wellbeing classes, &really helps people like my wife, people living with serious chronic illnesses, disabilities, or loneliness.

I’ve also learnt about AI, sustainability & we upskill ourselves whilst we feel isolated from society due to our complex disabilities/personal circumstances.

These classes aren’t just something my Wife enjoys — they’re what gets her out of bed. She lives with complex, painful conditions & spend most of her time alone at home or in hospital. But for CLP, she pushes through. She even begs doctors during long hospital stays to let her go to some classes —it keeps her going!

CLP isn’t a free service, but it’s always been affordable thanks to government subsidies. Now we’ve been told we’re losing more than 80% of that funding next year, and possibly more for arts classes — simply because they’re not seen as “essential.” But to those of us who attend, they’re everything. It’s where she goes to feel better about ourselves and not dependent on others.

This is why I need your help — urgently. If CLP disappears, many of us will lose our only safe space, our only creative outlet, and in many cases, the only people we speak to each week.

If you’ve ever known someone who’s struggled with illness, disability or isolation —this is your chance to help someone like them.Someone like Ria

CLP has supported me too as I watch my wife’s health decline. We need them as they help vulnerable people.

Please donate generously today , any amount will do! It goes directly towards saving this local community lifeline. (You can keep your name anon if you prefer).

With gratitude,
