THE CRUMBS PROJECT based in Boscombe is due to appear on ITV1’s new quiz show Holding Out for a Hero this Sunday 25^th September at 6.30pm.

Holding Out For A Hero is a brand new entertainment series which sees members of the public competing to win a life changing sum of money for their chosen hero.

Hosted by Gethin Jones, it’s a game of knowledge, risk and tension in which contestants could win tens of thousands of pounds to change somebody else’s life, and it’s the show where giving is more important than winning.

Kim Winter plays on behalf of the CRUMBS Project.  Kim’s son Lee is a former trainee who now volunteers at the CRUMBS Cafe in Christchurch Road, Boscombe.  Her nominated ‘hero’ is Anne Gardner, founder of CRUMBS who set up the charity in 1996.

CRUMBS is a local disability training charity where vulnerable adults gain valuable work experience, skills and training at the CRUMBS cafe and bakery in Bournemouth;  all trainees are referred to the project and have mostly either a learning disability or mental health issue.
