Thank you for taking the time to read my Just Giving Page – it means a lot especially when I said never again after the Sahara…………..what can I say?

So a new and very dear to my heart fundraising challenge!

2 years ago, I started volunteering for Lewes District Citizens Advice, what a great decision!

Let me tell you a little about the charity and how we change people’s lives.

About Lewes District Citizens Advice (LDCA)

LDCA is a small, local, independent charity that is embedded within its community. Most people think we are funded by the Government but that is not the case at all.

We must raise all our own income to run our charity and we are a paid member of the National Citizens Advice Association.

We can all face problems that seem complicated or intimidating. We believe no one should have to face these problems alone.

Every day our trained volunteers and staff provide free, confidential, independent, and impartial advice. Trust me, we are super busy every day.

We are the leading provider of generalist and specialist advice across Lewes district.  Our support is open to all and delivered in the community, at our offices and via the phone, email, and video conferencing.

More people than ever need our help.

Our support covers a range of services that are free of charge and include (but are not limited to) money advice & debt, food poverty, energy poverty, accessing and maintaining benefits, immigration, employment, education, housing, and equality issues.

We undertake general signposting and provide vouchers for fuel, food, clothes and second-hand furniture for those in poverty.  We take a holistic approach to providing advice, helping people with multiple issues.

In 2023 we helped 1800 clients with 6423 differing issues through the delivery of our advice work during a national Cost of Living crisis

How Your Donations Will Help

With your help we can support the people that need us most. Any donations we receive will go towards our area of greatest need - helping more clients.

The support we offer will empower clients with the knowledge and tools so that they can solve their own problems in the future.

The Challenge – Trek to Everest Base Camp and Hopefully Get Back to Sussex in One Piece!

• Always wanted to do it.

• It’s very hard especially as I am now getting older 😜.

• Crazy and dangerous flight to get to the start.

• 11 days trekking to the foot of the world’s highest peak.

• It’s only 5500metres!!!!

• The altitude is what gets you………..

As always, many thanks for your kind support and generosity.
