The story: 

Todd Mackintosh, charity founder, is running an Endurance Life Coastal Trail Full Marathon in Northumberland on February the 26th 2022. Link to event: https://www.endurancelife.com/northumberland 

Bare Necessities is a fledgling charity and at present are 100% community-funded and voluntary run. Since we founded in the summer of 2020 we've donated nearly 10'000 pairs of pants/socks to the homeless in the East of England and are expanding our work to other regions this year. 

Todd only stated running in September 2021 to help raise money for Bare Necessities. In mid-October 2021 he ran an Endurance Life Half Marathon and raised just over £600 which was enough to fund over 1000 pairs of pants/socks. Great start! 

In the months that followed, Todd reflected deeply (Read Todd's post on this here  https://www.facebook.com/miwa.mack.50/posts/716860659292139 ) on the charities objectives and concluded that 'BARE NECESSITIES' must include menstrual aids for our most vulnerable sisters as well as pants/knickers and socks which we already supply to the homeless. 

We absolutely need your support to help us bulk order from UK manufacturers various types of menstrual aids so we can start donating these by Q2 this year. 

Please give generously if you can. We are also hoping some of you will run your own fundraiser for us so we can meet our goal together. You can do this buy following the links on our charity Just Giving Page to set up your own fundraiser. 

Every penny donated to this campaign will be used to buy sanitary items for our sisters in need.
