Our first fundraising task is to build a raft and sail the Lancaster canal from 1 end to the other and back which is about 82 miles. If the canal is not assessable we will possibly use the river lune or something of similar distance.
We are hoping to raise funds to help finish off converting an old library bus in to a mobile internet and music hub for people with physical and mental health issues. Our plan is to take the bus to people instead of them making the journey to local help centres because for some people struggling with these issues they find it hard getting out and going too far from home.
We want to be able to offer them a safe and friendly environment where they can socialise and possibly make new friends but also be able to use the internet and music equipment that will be installed on the bus. There will also be a private counselling room, kitchen for making healthy and nutritious food and shower facilities.
With the money raised we will get all the repairs done that are needed for the main chassis of the bus including welding and rust treatment. We would more than welcome anyone who wishes to help do the work for free if they can't make a donation.
Money will also be used to insulate the bus, install a new layout to include computers and music equipment, paint the bus. Everything that is needed to get the bus up and running will be done.
I have estimated the cost to be 10,000 but we need ongoing funding to achieve our other goals that are listed on our facebook page.
