I am doing a Fire Walk For Fun on the 14th November 2015 for a charity called Families United Network.
I am trying to get sponsored for at least £100 in total lets see how much I can raise by the 13th Nov '15.
Here is a bit of info about the charity I am raising money for.
Families United Network is a charity, passionate about what they do
Families United Network will deliver and sustain the highest quality projects in order to meet our service users needs. We will consistently evolve so we meet tomorrows challenges whilst ensuring we operate ethically and with-in financial boundaries.
To create an accepting and supportive world in which children, young people and families living with disabilities can feel fully included and equally part of their own communities – and in which everyone, regardless of ability, can flourish and achieve their full potential.
Having the opportunity to share in our clubs, swimming sessions and other activities with supportive people who understand – and with other families in the same boat – makes a huge difference.
Two per cent of the population are born with a learning disability and 20 per cent of the population have some form of disability or special need. A large number of the children and young people we work with have learning disabilities, ADHD, are on the autistic spectrum or have other lifelong conditions, including medical needs, which affect them and their families every day of their lives.
People with learning disabilities struggle with access to mainstream activities, employment, education, social inclusion and friendships. One in four say they have no friends at all. They experience discrimination and are more likely to have issues around health, poverty, housing and mental illness.
Parents often have to choose part-time or no work in order to care for their children. The pressures they are under also take a toll on their health and they need support and help.
That’s why we’re here
