To raise money to support the charity to meet its vision of helping people and reducing re-offending
The work of Footprints is vital not only for the individuals we help, but our community generally, yet raising the funds we need is an enormous challenge
I have been involved with Footprints, firstly as a volunteer and then as a member of the staff for many years up to 2018. Supporting local people who are vulnerable and lacking in both practical and emotional support has proved to be worthwhile not just for the individual, but also for society. As volunteers mentoring and helping men and women to try to change is both challenging, rewarding and a privilege.
