Swim for Swym

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Keren Riches!

I'm excited to share that I am fundraising for my final year with SWYM (South West Youth Ministries). Over the past few years, I have been training in church ministry, and for my final placement, I will be based at St. Mark's Church in one of the more deprived areas of Plymouth.

Why It's Important to Me
This opportunity means a lot to me, as I will be working in one of the most deprived areas of the city. I am passionate about supporting the local community and creating a welcoming place for people to feel at home. This work is vital for fostering connection and growth in our community.

Why I'm Fundraising
Unfortunately, my placement cannot cover the SWYM fees, which is why I’m reaching out for your support. Your contributions will not only help me pay for these fees but also empower me to support the local community, encouraging the fostering of quality intergenerational relationships.

The Challenge
On September 22nd, my friends and I will be swimming to Drake's Island—a challenging 1.5 km swim in the sea! This swim is not just a physical challenge for me; it’s a way to bring the two things I love together.

How You Can Help
Your generous donations will help me make a difference in the lives of those I will be working with.

Thank you for considering supporting me on this journey!
