Lucy Matheson is raising money for The Archway Foundation
Relationship is one of the most profound human needs. It is shocking how quickly those who are alone lose their interpersonal skills, which then makes it even harder to build relationships. Archway does such important work to help those who are isolated feel connected, one cuppa and conversation at a time, through one-to-one befriending for the housebound and social groups for those who can get out and about. Some of Archway's Friends suffer such severe social anxiety that for the first couple of months of attending a social group, they may not make it past the foyer, but as they begin to feel more familiar with the set up and safe, they might move to sitting at the back of the hall. The day they sit themselves at a table with other people and participate in conversation is such a wonderful moment. As a small charity, donations make a huge difference to what Archway can do. For example, one grant meant they could give each Friend an Easter egg. Such things make such a difference to people who feel unwanted or forgotten.
I am not known for my athletic endeavour, but if you felt able to donate even a fiver to this worthy cause, it would encourage me round the 17 mile course (especially if it is miserable weather!) And given my toenails are already bruised... Thank you.
£10 could provide telephone support for two weeks to someone who is lonely.
£25 could help pay towards a home visit to a Friend who is housebound.
£50 could enable a Friend to attend one of our regular social groups.
Update: Halfway to my target of £500! Thank you!
