Philip's fundraiser for Friends of the British Overseas Territories

South West Coast Path Sponsored Walk 630 miles
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
My objective is to walk the entire 630miles of the South West Coast Path over the next 2 to 3 years. I am starting this challenge on 28th December 2024 from Minehead walking as far as ilfracombe over 4 days. I will then break this challenge up into long weekends over the next years to get all 630miles walked.
I am supporting Friends of the British Overseas Territories current fundraising campaign. I am aiming to raise £2,000 for the St Helena Disabled Society to launch 'No Place Like Home' - a project supporting their efforts to allow patients to stay in their homes for as long as possible.
Saint Helena, which is reliant on UK aid funding and has average wages of just £9,460, only has one small hospital and one care home, which is always at maximum capacity. To stop patients waiting in hospital for places in the care home, the Occupational Therapy Service are eager to help them live in their own homes. But they need the right equipment to do so. That is why FOTBOT will be aiming to raise £8,000 through our 'No Place Like Home' project, to buy the equipment necessary for this work.
The money will go towards a wide range of equipment, including wheelchairs, ramps, shower chairs and hoists.
Through this project, we hope to relieve the pressures on St Helena's hospital and care home, and foster better outcomes for the patients within St Helena's social care system.
