Over the next few weeks, I and the rest of the Sheffield team (Fundy McFundraise) will be getting involved in a myriad of activities to fundraise for RedR UK, a great charity whose aim is to develop disaster relief skills of local responders.

I'll be doing my share of a 750km+ run, throwing myself out of a plane, and converting each 5 pence received on this page into one pushup, dip, or crunch - we're also running a raffle with some exciting prizes later in the fundraising window.

Any help is appreciated, whether that's a donation, or just a share of this page.

Atkins (Member of the SNC-Lavalin group) is a Patron of RedR UK and has supported us for a number of years. This year we are encouraging each new graduate to raise £100 as part of a team of Young Professionals. RedR UK is an international disaster relief charity that gives people the skills to prepare for, respond to and recover from natural disasters and conflict. RedR trains thousands of people each year, ensuring they can get clean water services running again, prevent a cholera outbreak, test the safety of a building after an earthquake and much more. Citizens are always the first responders to a disaster. That's why RedR builds the skills of national aid workers working for local organisations to ensure skills remain in-country for the long term ready for future disasters. Your donation will help aid workers to save and rebuild more lives after disasters.
