CHARITY OF THE YEAR: Sunflowers Suicide Support is GlosJobs.co.uk and www.glos.info chosen charity for 2024
In 2024, the Charity of the Year for www.GlosJobs.co.uk and www.glos.info, is Sunflowers Suicide Support, a Gloucestershire charity that provides support for people bereaved or affected by suicide.
We will be organising a series of fun and challenging events throughout the year to support and raise funds for Sunflowers.
Trek For Sunflowers
The trek is imminent! Director, Belinda Wilson, has been busy training for the 5 day trek and camp in the wilds of Cambodia and in this photo you can see that she has been out in the fields of Wiltshire putting in a good 11 mile walk with dumbbells in her rucksack to practise for the real thing. It is going to be around 32 degrees out there so lots of water and cool kit needed!
In April, we delivered a very big cheque for £11,208.78 to Sunflowers Suicide Support, the GlosJobs.co.uk and glos.info Charity of the Year for 2024.
We have had amazing support for the swim and quiz that we ran recently and it is a privilege to help such a fabulous Gloucestershire charity.
We are now running a raffle with some really great prizes and you can buy tickets online at www.glos.info/raffle. Prizes include £100 cash from GlosJobs.co.uk, two weekend tickets for
Wychwood Festival 2025, two vouchers for day spa at Hatherley Manor Hotel, Cheltenham Racecourse tickets, Soul Circus wellbeing festival tickets and many, many more!
The first event was #SwimForSunflowers - A Group Swim in the Pool the Distance of The Channel and Back for Sunflowers Suicide Support Charity.
A group of regular swimmers at the Cheltenham Ladies' College pool have a 2-hour slot on Sunday 17th March 2024, to see if we can collectively swim the distance of The English Channel to France and back in the pool. It is a total distance of 67.6km = 2,704 lengths! We think we can do it!!
Everything you donate will be doubled through the generous support of Pete and Lucy Eggleston through a match funding agreement with their Eggleston Charitable Foundation. So please give generously...
Other events will include:
#QuizForSunflowers - Wednesday 17th April 2024 at Cheltenham Bowling Club, Suffolk Square
#RaffleForSunflowers - Let us know on office@glos.info if you would like to donate a prize in exchange for lots of publicity on www.glos.info.
#TrekForSunflowers - GlosJobs and glos.info director, Belinda Wilson (above), will be spending several days trekking and camping in the jungle in Cambodia, finishing in the ancient temples of Angkor Wat, to raise funds for Sunflowers.
If you have any other thoughts, ideas or suggestions as to how we can spread the word and help the charity, please do contact Belinda on office@glos.info.
Sunflowers Suicide Support is founded by people who know the pain and trauma of losing a loved one to suicide. They aim to offer support to others who are bereaved or affected by suicide. More details about the charity here.
