Walk for my Mission
I’m not one for walking, but I am one for a challenge!

Altogether, I need to raise around £200 to make it happen …

DARE Snowdonia Challenge
Reportedly, the longest running recovery group in North Wales, DARE exists primarily for Drug & Alcohol Recovery Expeditions, helping everyone in recovery (and those who support others in recovery) from any of life’s hurts, habits and hangups, by taking them out onto the hills and mountains of North Wales (and further afield occasionally) and giving them a purpose and a hope for the future.
To raise money for our work, we are taking part in the Snowdonia Challenge – a 100K walk over 3 days.
ARC Communities

We seek to inspire, motivate and care for people living in chaos or crisis, without prejudice or discrimination, supporting them back into stability and independent living within their communities by embracing them as unique, necessary and totally worthwhile members of society.
