Kristina Stoddern, one of our 4 Directors, stepped out of her comfort zone on Saturday 29th July to participate in the Liverpool Cathedral Abseil to raise funds for Big Help Project.
Kristina’s aim was to raise £400, which would feed 2 families for a year via one of their Knowsley Foodbank food clubs. Kristina smashed her target raising a fantastic £615 for the BHP ‘Feed a Family’ Campaign, which will help support so many people.
Big Help Project were delighted with the amount Kristina had raised, commenting “Your bravery, by going down the 150 ft Cathedral, will mean we will be able to support and help people that are facing crisis and poverty, thank you.”
Kristina was very grateful for all the donations she received and also to those who attended on the day to show their support.
Well done Kristina, you did amazing.

This partnership will help us to be able to continue meeting the needs of our community and supporting those most affected by the cost of living crisis.”
