Hi and welcome



Welcome to this blog which supports my sponsored cycling adventure to North Africa in September 2022. My chosen charity is the Catholic Worker Farm which is run as a women's refuge just west of London. You can visit their website here: http://www.thecatholicworkerfarm.org/

or watch a documentary video about their work here:

Founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin during the great depression of the 1930's, the Catholic worker movement has a colourful history of supporting justice and hospitality for those enduring oppression. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Worker_Movement


If you would like to sponsor my ride and support the Catholic Worker Farm's valuable work in providing refuge for homeless women and children, please visit: https://www.collectionpot.com/pot/3017767/ where you will also be able to complete a gift aid declaration to increase the value of your donation by 25% (if you are a UK taxpayer).

I have ditched the facebook page (19/08/2022) because they were sending back my posts telling me they were Spam!
So that's about as much use to a fundraiser as a chocolate teapot !

The Money Go Round

Going a little bit crazy today trying to determine the best way to collect money for my chosen charity. So the charities have to pay a monthly subscription of around £30 to the schemes that I've looked into, plus approx 2% plus .20p for every donation, and more for gift aid collection. It leaves me wondering where is the charity in that? So I've written to my bank to find out if they think it's safe for me to leave my sort code and account number on this public web page. Another alternative would be to use an internet payment system, like Skrill or Stripe (or the service that shall not be named) but they all charge a minimum of 2% for a withdrawal, ie when I pay the donations to the charity. Maybe I'm being unrealistic here, leave a comment to let me know what you think.
