North West Simon Community are calling on you to join their annual Dip & Donate Challenge from 18th – 21st June, ending on the longest day of the year to help raise vital funds to sustain their Early Intervention and Prevention Service.
For many of us, the longest day of the year (June 21st) symbolises the start of summer a day where people take time to enjoy with friends and family and there has never been a more pressing time to stand together to help the most vulnerable in our society.
