Anna’s story
On 6th December, I will be taking on my very first half marathon at Darlington's inaugural Half Marathon. As someone who has never completed a half marathon before, this is a huge personal challenge, which I will not find easy! I hope you will get behind me and support my fundraiser as this will really help to motivate me when I feel like giving up!
Most families arriving at our refuge come with very little. Often, they have had to leave their homes at short notice, taking only the essentials and leaving behind many of their personal belongings. We do everything we can to provide a warm and welcoming start during what is often an incredibly difficult time. This includes supplying fresh bedding, towels, toiletries and clothing, as well as toys, books and games to help children feel safe and settled. We also provide supermarket vouchers so that families can buy their first food shop without the added stress of worrying about how they will afford it.
Every £ raised through this fundraiser will help us ensure we have the resources needed to continue offering this support to the families who come through our doors in 2027. Your donation will help us to provide comfort, dignity and practical assistance at a time when it is needed most.
