Our Fundraising team walking, kayaking, and wagging their tails to 95 miles!
In September, Why me? completed our 95:95 Sponsored Challenge, with our fundraisers travelling over 95 miles to raise awareness of the 95% of victims of crime who are not told about their entitlement to Restorative Justice.
We raised over £2,300 via Just Giving! To see all our fundraisers’ various activities to contribute to the 95 mile distance, please read our ‘Help us support the 95% of victims who don’t know about RJ’ blog.
