Story
I will be embarking on a 5-day, 100% unplugged trek across the Moroccan desert with no phone, no internet, and no access to social media, all to raise funds for my Unplugged Clubs. These clubs are dedicated to helping children swap screen time for green time, offering them the chance to have fun, learn, and experience the many benefits of spending time in nature.
For 120 hours, I will completely disconnect from the online world – no phone, no internet – all in support of raising money for my Unplugged Clubs. During my trek, I will live a nomadic life, walking with a caravan of camels through the desert, sleeping under the stars, and cooking over the fire.
Why am I doing this?
Children today spend so much time on screens, often missing out on the joys of connecting with the natural world. As a child, spending time outdoors kept me grounded, inspired, and mentally balanced. It gave me the tools to navigate life’s challenges and build resilience—and it still does to this day.
As children’s mental health faces unprecedented challenges, I’m determined to make a difference. By embarking on this challenging trek to fundraise for Unplugged Clubs, I hope to give more children the chance to experience the life-changing benefits of outdoor adventures.
Your support can make a real impact:
The funds raised will help me expand the reach of Unplugged Clubs, ensuring that more children in our local community can access them, regardless of their circumstances.
Your support will go directly towards providing children with the opportunity to swap screen time for green time. This experience can help them build resilience, confidence and develop a love for the natural world.
£20 will cover the cost of one session for a child.
£120 will cover a full term of Unplugged Club sessions.
£47 will pay for a day of holiday club for a child.
Thank you for your kindness and support! Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference!
