Fundraising for CFC

This year, in aid of CFC, Nuria is going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Then in early 2027, Lisa will walk east to west across Costa Rica!​ This is their story....

 

From 22-29 August, Nuria, along with her friends Debbie and Vicky, will be taking on the incredible challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, which is not for the faint hearted!

​

Then, in January 2027, Lisa, along with her friends Anthony and Sue, will walk the width of Costa Rica, from the Atlantic to the Caribbean coast, crossing wild and demanding terrain in what will be a truly strenuous journey.

​

Together, they are raising vital funds for the Counselling & Family Centre.

​

Lisa works on the appointments desk in Altrincham and sees the difference this service makes to people’s lives. She witnesses moments of crisis turning into hope, and individuals finding a way forward when things feel overwhelming. Just £100 can help fund 5 counselling sessions, five opportunities for someone to be heard, supported, and helped through their darkest times.

 

Lisa says: "Working at CFC for the past 10 years, it has been a privilege to see the impact our service has on couples, families, adults and children. We are a caring and compassionate place to come to. I’m taking on this challenge to raise much-needed funds for a charity that has faced significant funding cuts in recent years, so we can continue to be there for those who need us most."

​

Nuria has volunteered with the charity for over six years. Through her work in accounts, she sees another reality - the constant challenge of keeping such an essential service running.

​

Nuria: "Behind the scenes, there is a dedicated team working tirelessly to make this support possible, often under immense financial pressure. I’m taking on this challenge for them, for the people who give so much of themselves every day, and for those whose lives are changed through the support they provide."

​

Climbing Kilimanjaro will be really tough. Walking across Costa Rica will push limits. But these challenges are nothing compared to what many people face without access to the help they so desperately need.

​

Every donation, no matter the size, will help the Counselling & Family Centre continue its vital work, offering hope, healing, and support when it’s needed most.​
