Story

SPONSOR ME & LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER!

I have now worked for Aid Box Community (ABC) for three years and every day I am moved by the organisation's ability to extend welcome, provide practical aid, foster a sense of belonging and create community.

People often tell us that they have never seen a charity like it. That they feel welcome, included, seen and appreciated for who they are. That ABC gives them hope. Here is a quote from one of the first interviews I did as a volunteer; “So, this is really our place, it’s our house, it’s a way really, we feel that we are human.”

After two previous 10k runs, this year I will be taking on a BIG challenge... THE GREAT BRISTOL HALF-MARATHON (21k people)!! All in support of Aid Box Community because along with others it gives me hope and belonging and makes such a big difference to people's lives. In a time where the world feels swamped in violence and disregard of life I cannot think of a better way to show up.
