‘‘My story
Hey! I am raising money for a charity 10K I am doing around the local field on the 12th March. This lockdown has got me thinking about the impact this pandemic has had on us all, in particular how this pandemic has continued to exacerbate inequality in society and how this has led to increased pressure and demand on charities providing vital services to those in need.
I couldn’t decide on just one charity to fundraise for so have decided to split however much I can raise between three. These include;
1.Trussell Trust Food Bank - This charity to provides a vital service to the wider community providing over 1,200 food bank services across the UK. Between October and December alone there was predicted to be a 61% increase in demand for food parcels. This equates to 51,606 more food parcels been given out in this period alone.
2. Refuge Domestic Abuse Charity - Provides an invaluable service for women, children and men who are experiencing domestic violence. Some of the services they offer include emergency temporary accommodation for those fleeing abuse, support outreach programs, child support workers and a helpline which operates 24/7. In the first lockdown there was a 80% increase in calls made to the charities hotline.
3. Albert Kennedy Trust - Supporting young LGBTQ+ people aged 16-25 in the UK who are experiencing homeless or living in a hostile environment. They do this by providing emergency accommodation, mentor support, access to life skill training and support networks as well as a helpline. The pandemic has seen a much higher number of referrals than the same period last year, due to some young LGBTQ+ people's living situations becoming hostile due to lockdowns or finding themselves homeless due to family rejection.
As you can see there is a real need for support of these charities, so any donations are so greatly appreciated. ‘‘
