Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am writing to you to ask for your support for a charity bike ride I am taking in part in this September. The ride is 62 miles from London to Oxford and will raise vital funds for Honeypot, a children’s charity which provides respite breaks for young carers and vulnerable children in the UK.

 

The Honeypot charity helps 1,000 children each year, of which 70% not only live in difficult circumstances, but are also young carers. Often the person they care for is their best friend, rather than a schoolmate, and they suffer from symptoms of stress, social exclusion, loneliness and exhaustion. They often struggle financially, with many living in poverty. Pocket money to enjoy a visit to the cinema, or a trip to the local swimming pool, is a rarity and a holiday is a distant dream.

I am hoping to raise at least £250 for this very worthy cause and would love to reach it with your support. As a small charity, every penny helps, with 80p in every £1 going towards children’s services. To put this in perspective, below are ways in which your donation could help:

- A £10 donation would help provide 5 children with an arts and crafts session. Because of their circumstances, these children rarely get the chance to play or relax, these sessions are vital for their personal development.

§          A £20 donation would help provide a child and their family with an hour’s home visit. These visits are a vital part of Honeypot’s ongoing support and are an essential part of a child’s journey with Honeypot.

Thank you for your time, I hope that you will be able to support me, if you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact me.
