Char Wills haven't posted any updates yet.
An adventurous (obviously), somewhat eccentric 'all or nothing' girl from Gloucestershire. Rarely one to follow the crowd and used to being told 'do as I say not as I do' I usually go with the motto 'do as you say that I cannot do'. Often in trouble as a child, more often in trouble as a teenager, I'm always the one that is up for doing things others wouldn't even contemplate and saying things people think but would never say out loud. My Father thinks I enjoy shocking people... Maybe he's right! All that I know is that as Marilyn Monroe once allegedly said; "It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring". The Mongol Derby is not a challenge that could ever be accused of being boring. Always having felt completely at home when in the company of a horse, or pony, their majestic beauty, strength and intelligence has always profoundly affected me. Lifes woes, fears and worries slip away the minute I am in their presence. What more exhilarating experience is there than riding a semi wild Mongol pony across the wilderness? Not to mention the challenge of not only staying in the saddle, but navigating across the vast expanse of emptiness of this majestic country. I work as an interior designer in London and escape to the countryside at weekends.
The Icarus Trust
The Icarus Trust: About us Overview How we can help you How you can help us Our Patrons The Icarus Trust The Icarus Trust team focus on providing support for the families of addicts. We are available to help any member of the family, including the addict themselves, through a network of Family Friends who are trained to provide personal support. In addition, we have access to a team of professionals across the UK who can provide specialist help to suit individual needs at every stage of the recovery process. While addiction may not be always obvious within families, the issue is sadly widespread and living with an addict puts a huge strain on the whole family. Whether it’s overstressed, overworked parents or children feeling undervalued and marginalised, many homes that should be happy are being torn apart by the knock on effects of one family member who has lost their way, often through no fault of their own. We at The Icarus Trust understand and are here to help support families living with addiction. The Icarus Trust signposting and support service is free of charge to all families and offers the choice and freedom to change their therapy at any time. We work with you to help you find the best family support for your specific needs. We do however ask for a donation to the charity from those who can afford on-going treatment, so we can help those who are less able through our discretionary bursary scheme to help cover the cost of required treatment services. With time, the charity has gathered momentum and funding, and now our crucially important addiction support services is available for families across the country.
