Thames tow path Marathon
Fundraising Target: £5000.00
My Donations to date: £7890
Fundraiser(s): Mark Bevan
Event: Thames tow path Marathon
Event Date: 21st August 2010
Charitie(s) Supported: Coutts Scp Childline Challenge,
Consider the following:
- On average, two children a week are killed in the UK at the hand of another person.
- Every day last year an average of 60 sex offences against children were recorded by police in England and Wales.
- At least one child a week in the UK dies from cruelty.
- 36% of all rapes recorded by police are committed against children under the age of 16.
Childline, a registered charity, is the UK's only free 24 hour helpline for children and young people in distress or danger. It counselled 157,000 children in 2008-9 but can currently answer only two thirds of attempted calls due to lack of capacity - over half a million calls went unanswered.
Some of the senior team at Coutts have accepted the challenge of raising £141,000 to fund a new Childline supervisor for 3 years - this person would support a further 20 - 25 volunteer counsellors and enable an additional 15,000 calls to be handled.
I appreciate that appeals are rarely welcome but implore you to support our challenge. We have all undertaken to do something to achieve out target and in a moment of weakness I have agreed to walk the approximate equivalent of a marathon along the Thames tow path (despite my foot being in plaster for three months less than a year ago)!
Any help you feel able to give would be hugely appreciated, not only by myself but more importantly by the children who so desperately need Childlines help.
