This year, proceeds from our Linney charity raffle went towards supporting Walking 4 Hope, a Mansfield-based charity dedicated to improving mental health through community, conversation, and connection.
The charity was founded by John Bell, widely known as ‘Dadpool,’ after the heart-breaking loss of his son in 2020. Instead of allowing grief to consume him, John turned his pain into purpose, creating Walking 4 Hope as a safe space where people can share their struggles, find support, and realize they are not alone.
John’s fundraising efforts have been as bold as they are inspiring—from walking from Mansfield to Wrexham dressed as Deadpool to carrying a bathtub strapped to his back—all in a bid to raise awareness and encourage open conversations about mental health.
Walking 4 Hope has already made a life-changing impact on so many individuals, and we are incredibly proud that proceeds from our charity raffle will help John and his team continue their vital work.
A huge thank you to John for his courage, creativity, and commitment to making a difference in our community.
