Skipping, stops skipping..... well that's the plan!
I will skip 3000 skips every day for 30 consecutive days in hope of raising £3000 for St Albans and District Foodbank, in the lead up to Christmas.
I know it's tough for lots of people right now, more than the norm, I know. But, there are people that are living local to us that cannot afford to put food on the table or heat their homes.
No-one should have to live like that. Especially children, but in our area alone, the St Albans and District Foodbank are giving out at least 800 x 3 day emergency food parcels every month and c400 of those are to feed local kids!
It's a MASSIVE ask I know but it would be amazing with your support to raise £3000 or more so St Albans and District Foodbank can continue their great work.
The bigger picture, and why I am doing this?
It breaks my heart to think people don't have enough money to eat or be warm, it breaks my heart that children are caught up in this. Here are a few stats.....
- 14.5 million people live in poverty in the UK
- of that number 4.3 million children living in poverty
I could rant and rave about why this is so wrong but instead all my energies will be to skip every last skip out of me.
I will
- skip 3000 skips every day, in one go, no cheeky 1000 here and there.
- start on Friday 25th November and finish on Saturday 24th December
What I am hoping you can help with?
- Make a donation, every £ counts!
- Every £19 raised will provide a 3 day emergency food parcel for someone living in your area
- Spread the word, it would be amazing to reach the target!
- if you fancy a skip a long with me, drop me a line and come join me!
