Our Charity Page

Unfortunately, in late 2021, tragedy struck my hometown of Lancaster and me personally when one of my best friends from school and for many years afterwards was killed during Storm Arwen.

Rob was an absolute genuine and salt of the earth guy who also had a passion for walking and the weather, in addition to being a very talented footballer that I had the privilege to play with for many years at Greaves FC (see images in story section).

Rob was only 40 years of age, and he left behind a young daughter, his partner, an absolutely loving and close-knit family, and many friends.

Rob's favourite charity, Reuben's Retreat, is accepting direct donations in memory of him and is a great cause to donate towards, and is also a charity I donate regularly to myself (see given gain link below + future donations from Exacta Weather/myself will also be announced).

Reuben's Retreat supports families with complexly poorly children and families of child loss.

A recent charity event from some of Rob's closest friends and family members also raised several thousand pounds for Reuben's Retreat in memory of him.

Thank you to those who have so far taken the time out to donate to this worthy charity and for a more than worthy cause in Rob's memory...

Also, thank you to those who take the time out to donate in the future too...
