We have recently set-up a GoFundMe page for The Cells Project to help support our various initiatives, including our youth club. Any contributions made will fund our mission to educate young people in the North West on the consequences of crime whilst also helping us turn negative pasts into positive futures. Please find the link below. We appreciate any and all donations made and we can’t thank you enough for your kindness and support.
MARATHON FUNDRAISER
A former volunteer is taking on the Lisbon Marathon and raising money for CELLS along the way.
Macie Nicholls, who has only taken up running in the past year has decided to challenge herself to running the Lisbon Marathon at the end of October. She was inspired to put her extraordinary efforts to a good cause and says she thought of CELLS ‘straight away’.
During her time as a volunteer in 2023/24, Macie was able to see the incredible work the work that CELLS does first-hand, attending school visits and getting involved in our youth club. She said that CELLS was especially important because of the team of people who provide support to young people, whether that be in group settings or on a one-to-one basis, who have lived experiences and are able to use that to create relationships.
After studying law in university, Macie was inspired to volunteer with CELLS and was particularly interested in working with people at risk or involved with crime. Seeing CELLS work in action, she saw how CELLS uses education as a tool for change, helping young people to navigate back onto the right path and providing positive opportunities to build positive futures.
Macie says that when she reaches the finish line she will both be glad the race is over, and it will be very rewarding, knowing she has done it all to help other people and support a good cause.
‘I did some volunteering in 2023/24 and it’s clear how much [CELLS] really cares about the kids, so it would just be a thank you from me for letting me come along to see all of the great work [CELLS] do.’
