Fundraising for Rebecca House

Rebecca House offers a safe haven and a home from home environment in which physical, emotional, recreational and spiritual care is offered and where children are able to relax and have fun on the Isle of Man. As a teacher, I work with young people on a daily basis and I recognise the importance of a safe space as a basis for all care, whether educational or not.

I am working with Hospice IOM to enable some of the children I teach to learn more about the care Rebecca House provides and to fundraise for the charity themselves. Mr Downwood from Hospice IOM spoke during an assembly today and pupils have been given the opportunity to be involved in fundraising as part of the Isle of Man leg of the 7 Kingdoms Challenge.

This challenge involves either a 10mile walk across the Isle of Man from Peel to Douglas or a shorter 6 mile walk starting half way. The date is set for Friday 20th March and sponsorship forms have gone out today.

Good luck with your fundraising everyone!
