Story

Myself and Alice along with a team of dedicated volunteers and staff lace up our trainers for the Lincoln Santa Fun Run/Walk 2024, we are not just participating in a marathon; we are rallying behind the unsung heroes of our community - the carers.

A carer is someone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support. It could be a 40 year old man caring for his partner with cancer or a 12 year old child caring for their parent who has suffered an injury.

We understand that caring can be hard, but Carers First believe that getting the right help shouldn’t be. That's why we work directly with and for unpaid carers to provide personalised information and advice, making it easier for those caring for someone else to continue living their lives to the fullest.

We are fundraising for the cause with a collective target amount of £1000. Our goal is to make a meaningful impact in the lives of carers by supporting Carers First in their mission to provide essential assistance and guidance. Join us in this endeavor as we strive to ensure that no carer feels alone on their journey.

Your contribution will go a long way in empowering carers and enabling them to navigate their challenges with resilience and hope. Together, let's create a ripple effect of compassion and support that reverberates throughout our community.

Thank you. 💜🎅
