TOGETHER, We Can Cross The Line!
Welcome to our charitable page; Sarah’s Community Challenges Project or SCCP is less of a mouthful!
Where do we start, well at the beginning may be the best place! I’m Sarah Tate, the founder of SCCP, the lady with the crazy ideas but also the driving force behind our vision. Back in January 2022, whilst recovering from Covid, I decided to order an exercise bike and cycle on it the distance of Land’s End to John O’Groats; aiming to improve fitness and whilst doing so raising awareness and funds for a little girl who needed vital equipment being that she was classed as end of life a number of years previously.
By week 10 of my fundraising journey, I had raised over £10,000 on JustGiving and had further donations from local organisations totalling £16,500! I had walked a marathon, shouting loud and proud about the cause, and held a fundraiser, auction, numerous raffles and bucket collections; not only raising well-needed funds but bringing a community together for one purpose. . . . to help one another.
After this campaign, I got the bug to help and raise awareness and money for other local causes; focusing particularly on ones that had touched my life and the lives of my now-growing community of followers.
