110 Mile Team Challenge

The outbreak of Covid-19 has made life very difficult for many people in our communities and they need help right now.

The outbreak of Covid-19 has made life very difficult for many people in our communities and they need help right now.

We have some amazing local charities here in Doncaster who are struggling more than ever to provide support to those who are reaching out during these difficult times. Their usual sources of funding have been disrupted by the outbreak and demand on their already limited resources is increasing as impacts of the virus take effect.

The Property Hive team have set ourselves a challenge to run or walk a collective 110 miles during our one hour a day exercise time in lock-down over 10 days to help raise some urgent finances.

The funds we raise will be shared equally between the following amazing charities based here in Doncaster: Doncaster Food Bank , Phoenix Womens Aid and Doncaster Mind .

We would really appreciate your support with a donation to these great local caused who are trying to help the most vulnerable in our communities.

Doncaster Food Bank

Doncaster Food Bank

“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Phoenix Womens Aid

Phoenix Womens Aid

Phoenix WoMen's Aid delivers Domestic Violence and Abuse services in Doncaster, including their refuge accommodation for women, girls and families and male victims and their families (including family pets).

They provide training (Freedom Programme, You and Me Mum, Power to Change, Solihull Parenting, Mind Management, Helping Hands, Volunteer Champions, ESOL), counselling, advice (Immigration, Legal, Housing, Benefits, Health, Safety Planning) and advocacy with regards to the abuse or any extenuating factors as a result of the Domestic Violence and Abuse.

In February 2020, they opened a charity shop to help raise funds but unfortunately due to COVID-19 it had to close temporarily.

As you can imagine, a time like this has had such an impact on the number of Domestic Violence and Abuse cases, soaring during the lockdown.

Doncaster Mind

Doncaster Mind

We are Doncaster Mind, a local mental health charity.  We support people who are experiencing mental health difficulties by promoting awareness and aiding personal wellbeing and recovery.

All of our services and activities are informed by people with lived experience of mental health difficulties and it is their stories that inspire and drive us.

We believe that no one should have to face a mental health difficulty alone.  Whether you are stressed, anxious, depressed or in a crisis we’ll listen and offer support.

We won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health difficulty gets both the support and respect they need and deserve.

Thank you for your support
