Freya’s Bummit to Cardiff!

Hi everyone!For the second (and sadly last) time during university I am taking part in Baby Bummit, the UK&#x27;s biggest hitchhike for charity! Myself and my coursemate, Zach Chan, will be heading up North this year, all the way from Sheffield to Glasgow! We&#x27;ll be relying solely on the kindness of strangers for lifts, and we&#x27;re hoping to raise lots of money for some amazing local charities in the process :)The brilliant charities we will be raising money for this year are:Cavendish Cancer CareCavendish Care Centre has been providing support to people affected by cancer for over 30 years, offering support to those diagnosed or recovering from cancer as well as to friends and family members affected. Cavendish Cancer Care is funded almost entirely by the generosity of the local public. They are proud to work in an integrated way with our NHS partners to help support patients and their families, but they are not an NHS organisation. CCC are a local, independent charity, largely reliant on fundraising and donations to keep doors open.The Snowdrop ProjectThe Snowdrop Project is a South Yorkshire based charity that provides long-term holistic support to empower survivors of human trafficking in the UK to recover from their past and rebuild their future. Their main work focuses around Casework &amp; befriending, Counselling, Community activities, House renovations, Training and Policy work &amp; partnerships (having spoken in parliament to encourage systematic change in the past)The snowdrop project exists to ensure that no survivor of trafficking has to rebuild their life alone. Last year they supported 124 survivors with the practical and emotional support they needed to move on from the trauma of their past.Urban RootsUrban Roots is a Glasgow-based, community-led environmental charity who aim to address neighbourhoods and environmental concerns, working with local neighbourhoods to improve living conditions in Glasgow.They deliver a range of activities, including food growing, conservation and biodiversity work, and promoting healthier eating. They work with local people to improve the environment and health of communities.Sage SheffieldSAGE provides therapeutic arts and horticulture programmes for people whose lives have been affected by mental illness.
