Story
On Sunday 12th July 2020, a group of Wilmslow High School teachers are cycling 100 miles across Cheshire to raise money for two charities that really support the local community:
Wilmslow Youth: https://sourceyouthwork.com/wilmslowyouth
Our work began in 2016 as a joint project between local churches to meet the needs of local young people and build a healthy community for them to be part of. We provide free, early intervention, mental health support for young people aged 11-18 and their parents, and strive to not just provide a service for young people, but to create an environment in which they can thrive. For that reason, our counselling and mentoring provisions are supported by wrap-around groups and activities that promote healthy social interaction and break down stigmas around mental illness though various forms of group work, media, workshops and activities
Wilmslow Parish Food Friends: http://wilmslowparish.co.uk/food-friends/
Much of Food Friend's time in lockdown has been spent dealing with an overwhelming volume of calls and e mails; liaising with individuals, local businesses and organisations, supermarkets, schools, churches, local government agencies, charities, health and other community based groups; signposting, co-ordinating Food Friend drops and pick-ups and pooling and promoting information and resources. If you know someone who needs a food bank contact:
Flo (Food Friend) on 07592 582567 / e mail flonew@hotmail.com
Wayne (C19 Styal) on 07968 366442
Hope Central e mail info@hopecentral.org.uk
This is our way of giving a little bit back to two vital causes that support the people and families of Wilmslow and the surrounding areas day in, day out. Any donation will be really appreciated!
Take care
Matt Bebbington and the 100 Mile Team!
