Help Jim Wroe, Soapbox Hero

Dear friends of Billericay,

You may have heard about our community hero Jim from Billericay’s very own Round Table, being taken to hospital following an accident at the Rotary Soap Box Derby event.

Whilst it would be fantastic to reach our target to make Jim secure whilst he is out of work,
Any extra funds raised will be used to help Jim with his ongoing rehab & physio treatments,


Jim has fractured his vertebrae and has to be in a full body brace for two months. As if this is not bad enough, Jim works at supporting vulnerable young people on the margins of society he does not get sick pay. Like most charity workers, they accept lesser benefits, doing a role most people would not want to do, in order to do a job they feel passionate about; supporting those less able to support themselves.

Luckily, after being transported to hospital for all the relevant tests, Jim shows no signs of permanent nerve damage, however, he will need at least a two month recoverery period. This does leave him very concerned how he is to pay his bills and mortgage in the interim.

Could we as a community help one of our own, who has spent many hours helping others, not only in his charity work but as a member of the Billericay Round Table who raises thousands of £’s for other people. Could you perhaps donate what you would have spent at the pub one night or perhaps what you would have spent on a coffee and sandwich for your lunch?

Jim is now aware that we have set this page up. The monies raised from this page will be managed by GoFundMe to ensure your confidence that this page is legitimate and that the monies are reaching the beneficiary direct.




Thank you for your help!
