Parminder is running the Wokingham Half Marathon on 25th February to raise much needed funds for Home-Start Wokingham.
Parminder is a “Hub Leader” volunteering and donating her time and expertise as part of Gunnercooke Foundation Inspire initiative, helping and supporting local charities: https://www.thegunnercookefoundation.com/inspire-1 Over 70% of charitable donations in the UK are given to just the top 1% of charities. There are so many charities operating at the grass roots with almost no funding, no resource and few connections. As a Hub Leader, Parminder supports local charities, because Parminder and the Gunnercooke Foundation believe that every business has the power to start helping these charities, today. One of the local charities in Parminder’s Hub is Home-Start Wokingham.
Home-Start Wokingham provides compassionate support and friendship to disadvantaged and vulnerable families with young children. The parents we help are often single mums on low incomes, with mental health issues, disabilities, illness and/or isolation and who have little, if any, other support. Home-Start relies on a wonderful team of trained volunteers who go out into the community, visiting families in their homes each week and giving them the emotional and practical support they need to get them through a particularly tough time. Parminder has run other half marathons, but since moving to Wokingham in 2022, this is her first “home” Wokingham half. She has turned from a “fair weather” runner to training in the rain, wind and dark and she’s hoping with your support those very early morning training runs will pay off, to get her over the finish line.
Thank you for supporting Parminder and enabling Home-Start to continue to provide it's life changing work. Your donation, however small, will be enormously appreciated.
