The fantastic Joanna Dobson is organising this fundraising appeal on behalf of SHEFFIELD ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT.

Her fundraiser called “60 miles for 60 years” and she says that; ” This year I will celebrate my sixtieth birthday, and over the next few months, I want to raise £600 for SEM by walking sixty miles, one for every year of my life.”

Joanna believes in the positive effects of rural spaces and wants to help BAMER groups access  countryside activities.

Joanna whole heartedly supports us in our work and states on her fundraiser page that; ” The Sheffield Environmental Movement (SEM) is an amazing organisation that does all kinds of things to make it easier for BAMER people to get involved in environmental activities.”

Please support her good work.
