Alan Richards has selected two charities, The Rifles Care for Casualties  and SNAP:
The Rifles Care for Casualties is an appeal that gives the severely wounded, their
families and the families of our fallen Riflemen the support, the inspiration
and the means to rebuild their lives and make the best of their futures. MK SNAP
provides real work and development life skills training to vulnerable adults
with Learning and Physical difficulties who are excluded from mainstream
learning. Money raised will be used to help acquire a minibus. SNAP Website

Willen Hospice

We have always included Willen as one of our beneficiaries. They are well known for the excellent care they provide in the Milton Keynes area. Any money from Swimathon would be used to fund attendance at the Day Hospice. A week’s attendance for one patient would cost £3,750. Willen Hospice Website
