Story
Myself and a team of other volunteers will be heading out to Uganda in summer 2023 to assist with transforming an empty field at a local school into an exciting new playground, leaving a legacy for children to learn and develop essential life skills and nurture their physical, psychological and social development through the language they know best - play!
By donating to my fundraising page, you’ll be changing the lives of thousands of children by contributing to the building of a new playground at their school. Studies have shown that being able to play in a fun and exciting environment, such as a playground, during childhood increases our chances of graduating high school by 44%, and increases the chance of getting a bachelors degree by 17%. It increases future employability by 7x and raises earnings by 42%. All children deserve the right to the same chances and opportunities that we have, so why not be a part of this amazing project by donating or simply just sharing the link to my page.
£5 can provide a games board for children to play in a relaxing environment
£15 can provide a drum set so children can dance to their own beat
£30 can provide tyre animals to send children on an imaginative safari
£50 can provide a seesaw as part of the new playground
£100 can provide play-based sessions, increasing parent and child interaction
£1,000 can provide an adventure assault course for the children to run, jump and play
I will be so so grateful for any donation you can make, and you’ll be updated throughout my journey both in the UK and in Uganda. All of your donations will go towards the charity, as my trip is fully self funded.
