Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Matthew, and this summer I am going to be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world, ladies and gentlemen), to raise money for an amazing charity called Survivors Manchester.

Survivors Manchester is a small but critically important charity organisation that provides support to men and boys who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual violence or sexual exploitation. They do a phenomenal amount of work within Greater Manchester, and their mission is to break the stigma around sexual abuse and encourage people to #breakthesilence.

I am a teacher and work in a boys' school. I work with young men on a daily basis, and I was once one myself (many, many years ago!) and passionately believe that the work that this charity does in removing the stigma around talking about sexual abuse is really important.

I am climbing Kilimanjaro with my fantastic friend, Tom. He was supported by Survivors Manchester throughout the court case after he reported his own abuse to the Police. I am proud to be going on this exciting (and terrifying!) adventure with him. (You can sponsor him, too!)

I'm funding my own trip, so any donation you make will not only be massively appreciated, it will all be going straight to the charity, rather than buying me wool socks and Tracker bars. Between now and August, I'll be embarking on lots of fundraising to help me reach my target. If anyone has any brilliant media, PR or corporate fundraising ideas that can help me reach my target, then please do get in touch.

Any donation you can make (the price of a latte, a pint, a glass of wine, an economical family car) will make a difference.

Thank you for your support.

Matthew
