Charity

Vitalise - We're a national charity providing respite breaks and other essential services for disabled people, visually impaired people, and carers. Thousands of disabled people in the UK have complicated medical and care requirements that can make taking even a short break incredibly difficult and costly to arrange. . Thousands of the UK’s six million carers struggle to take a break when the disabled person they care for can’t take one. Vitalise makes a difference. We provide accessible respite care and short breaks for disabled adults, children and carers at our Centres across the UK. A Vitalise break gives disabled people the freedom to spend their time how they like, whether they choose to relax, to socialise, enjoy trips out or take part in the many activities on offer every week. Our breaks mean carers can take much-needed time off from the 24-hour a day role of caring and take care of themselves, knowing their loved ones are safe and happy. Four of our Centres provide guests with 24-hour nursing care on-call and personal support, however complex their disability or care needs. Our fifth Centre offers disabled children and adults the chance to take part in a huge range of accessible adventure activities. We care for a wide range of physical disabilities and medical conditions, including Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, spina bifida and cerebral palsy. We run our own volunteer programme, recruiting volunteers of all ages, from all over the world, to live at our Centres and provide disabled guests with extra support and companionship. Running our services is expensive. When you fundraise or make a donation you are enabling us to employ dedicated nursing and care staff, recruit and train thousands of volunteers, maintain the adapted coaches and minibuses that give our guests the freedom to go out and about and much, much more. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for visiting my page.  Having done a few 10K runs, the Great North Run and the Cyprus 4 day challenge in 2009, I thought I should set myself a challenge for 2010.

Please help me raise my target of £1500.

Fundraising has now finished, but thanks for visiting this page.
