CHARITY FOR MENCAP LIVERPOOL

Here there is a Chinese student, the owner of Best Volunteer Award of Liverpool and the International Student Award of Liverpool, who want to make difference for Liverpool and will have a CHARITY FOR MENCAP LIVERPOOL to help learning disability children. Hope to get your support. I will cycling single from Land`s End to John O`Groats between July 15  and August 6 and I want to fundraise for Mencap Liverpool with my adventure.

As a Chinese student, I believe that “Enter the university to grow wisdom and knowledge and depart to serve the society and the kind.” While gain advanced and wonderful education in the UK, I should do something for them and make difference to the society. Though I have got involved in a lot of voluntary activities and help others, the adventure with charity is the most meaningful one. I hope it not only just a fundraising, but to gain people`s attention to the learning disabilities children. 

Mencap Liverpool is the local Mencap group supporting people with a learning disability and their families in the Liverpool area. We are affiliated to national Mencap but we don’t receive any funding from them or from the council, so we rely on the amazing fundraising efforts of people like you. As we’re a small charity the money you raise will make a huge difference to the lives of people we support. Most people with a learning disability are treated as ‘different’. They do not have the same control over their own lives as the rest of our society and face challenges and prejudice every day. We help give people the control they should have by providing outreach support; information and advice; career coaching; volunteering opportunities; befriending; help to establish circles of support; and work experience placements. We campaign and influence to give people with a learning disability a fair chance to live a normal life without fear of prejudice. The money you raise will enable us to empower individuals whilst helping their support network to grow in number and in confidence.

I have created a fundraising page with Mencap and will do some fundraising on the road. Would you please support me and  help me promote the page.  Thanks very much.
