£395 Fundraised for What Comes Next

What a first outing for What Comes Next 🍦

On Friday 17 July, 50+ wonderful people met at Café Joon in Eastbourne to run 5km (or walk 2.5km) and finish it all off with ice cream in the evening sun. Simple, joyful, and for a brilliant cause.

As a fundraising pilot, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect... but we raised £395! That's most of the way to funding TWO grants for women rebuilding their lives after abuse, to spend on whatever her next chapter needs - a course, a therapist, a pair of trainers, her choice.

More than the money, it was a reminder that you can hold space for something this heavy and still make it feel light. Connection, movement, and ice cream seems to be a pretty good recipe.

Huge thank you to everyone who showed up. This was very much a pilot and I'll see you at the next one 🏃‍♀️🍦
