*UPDATE - I finished on the 23rd March - taking just 82 day to complete!

I'm taking part in a virtual Lands End to John O Groats event. Although the challenges allows a whole year to cover the 874 miles I'm aiming to complete by April 4th - Easter Day. That's an average of approximately 9.40 miles a day. 

I'm raising money for USPG's Lent Appeal "For Such a Time As This" 

The Church of South India is a USPG partner that provides educational services, from nursery to secondary school, across five states of India. In 2015, the Church of South India set up the Green Schools programme to teach the students about the importance of protecting the environment. This is a way for students to address the environmental issues they face every day whilst also benefitting educationally.

The Green Schools programme focuses on air, energy, food, land, water and waste within each school. This fosters teamwork and collaboration; it also means students will benefit across many areas of their curriculum.

We live in a broken and unequal world. We are here for such a time as this. Called to respond with words and actions, USPG partners with churches across the world in their mission of transforming lives through education, health care and justice for all.

Children in schools across south India are putting their faith into action in caring for God’s Creation. Will you join them?

Your donation will ensure that more children in India have access to the Green Schools Programme

£10 will enable a school to provide the materials their students need to start their environmental journey

£30 will provide one school with a Green School Award to champion their progress and inspire others to follow in their footsteps

£60 will train a teacher in the Green Schools Initiative, enabling 30 children to protect their environment now and for the future

USPG – United Society Partners in the Gospel. Founded in 1701, we are the Anglican mission agency that partners churches and communities worldwide in God’s mission to enliven faith, strengthen relationships, unlock potential and champion justice.
