Thank You Fiona
Get in touch to join the team on a future trip
In the event of Covid or other circumstances making it impossible to travel or run a successful in-person distribution , we ’ ll switch to a ‘ supported distribution ’, where we supply and ship high-quality refurbished wheelchairs from the UK , and a team of therapists and techies in the UK remotely advise a trained partner team in-country . The first of these , to Uganda , ran through February and March 2021 , and was a great success . If you ’ re interested in volunteering , or supporting these life-changing trips , please contact Kathy Birch ( kathy @ throughtheroof . org ), our volunteer Wheels for the World Administrator .
We are thankful to Fiona Gosden ( previously our Deputy Church Disability Inclusion Co-ordinator ), and pray God ’ s blessings on her as she moves on to a new role as Director of ‘ Time Norfolk ’ ( www . timenorfolk . org . uk ) – a Christian pregnancy loss charity . She ’ s been a fantastic part of the team for the past 3 years and will be much missed . It ’ s sad to see her move on , but we ’ re all excited that she ’ s has got a position in Christian leadership as a disabled person , and we ’ re looking forward to seeing everything she does in her new role . Please join us in praying for her as she makes a positive difference there .
Through the Roof are looking to form a team to enter this year ’ s Dragonboat race on 17th July on the river Thames , Canbury Gardens , Lower Ham Road , Kingston , KT2 5AU .
We need a team of up to 16 people plus the drummer to beat time for the crew . Races take place every 15 minutes throughout the day with each team racing at least three times over the 250 metre course . The first race takes place at 9.30am and the final one at about 4.30pm .
Technical T-shirts , energy bars and drinks will be provided along with lots of support , fun and laughter . No experience needed ! Each Through the Roof crew member will need to pay £ 30.00 to secure their place plus fundraise a target of £ 150 .
