LOSE POUNDS AND RAISE £’S FOR A LOCAL CHARITY
Swallow Charity, which supports local teenagers and adults with learning disabilities, is asking local friends and supporters to take part in a fun weight loss fundraising challenge. The challenge, which starts in September and runs until December, is aimed at those who may have gained weight during the lockdown or simply want to get in shape before Christmas. Participants will receive tips, guidance and encouragement along the way. For every pound that people lose, we will ask friends and family to sponsor them and raise money for SWALLOW. All the money raised will go towards SWALLOW Charity’s vital work which is needed, now more than ever. Nicky Tew, Fundraising and Finance Manager, said: “I hope that people get involved with this fundraising challenge – I am going to, I would love to lose those lockdown pounds and this will give me the incentive that I need.” SWALLOW has been continuing to support its members during the crisis and has seen its costs increase and its income decline. The money raised from the challenge will be vital for the charity to continue to provide vital support. Here is what SWALLOW members say: “Thank you SWALLOW for all you are doing during this difficult time.” “I have loved using Zoom during lockdown and seeing all my friends.” “I’m glad to be back at SWALLOW, it makes me happy.” If you would like more information about SWALLOW, or how you could support the charity, please contact Nicky Tew on nickyt@swallowcharity. org or call 01761 414034.
