About Andrew Sampson

Profile picture

I'm 50 this year and so I thought I would attempt to run a little farther than usual. I haven't run a half marathon since I was 27! I will also be raising money for the Door, so please do sponsor me. It may even make me run faster. Ha ha!

Fundraising Information

This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:


The Door

The Door has been providing vital support services for young people and their families across the Stroud District for over 30 years. The Door provides safe spaces for vulnerable individuals, somewhere they can feel the belong and be empowered. The Door provides positive role models in multiple settings and above all gives people hope. Practically this looks like youth clubs, mentoring, parenting courses and volunteering opportunities.

Motivated by the Christian values of hope, forgiveness and prayer The Door delivers its services at the heart of local communities, seeking to engage stakeholders from the bottom up. We have in-depth knowledge of the local area and its people, we tackle the root causes leading to enduring results and are prepared to deal with complex issues that other agencies shy away from.

The Door travels with people for the long term – walking alongside them, carrying the burden and never giving up.
