Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Through University, I have been lucky enough to be selected to be apart of the Football 4 Peace programme.

I am raising money for a project that is run by the University of Brighton called Football/Rugby 4 Peace International (co-existence through sport). To find out more about the project, visit www.football4peace.eu

In December 2017 I will be visiting Gambia and need all your support to help get me there!

Football 4 Peace is an activity-based community relations and reconciliation initiative. I will be travelling to The Gambia to help and work alongside sports coaches, community leaders and volunteers to bring differing communities together through sport and aspects of outdoor education.

The project first began in 2001 bringing together Jewish and Arab communities in Israel using football. Since then, there are now programmes using the value based curriculum in: The Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Israel, Jordan, Germany, England, South Korea, South Africa and The Gambia using multiple sports and activities.

The project puts an emphasis on young people enjoying learning and playing together in non-threatening settings.

The project aim is to:

1)   - Provide opportunities for social contract across community boundaries;

2)   - Promote mutual understanding;

3)   - Engender in participants a desire for and commitment to peaceful coexistence;

4)   - Enhance sport skills and technical knowledge
