On 25th June we are swimming from one end of Coniston to the other (5.25 miles) to raise much needed funds for families at New Hope.This is the furthest either of us will have ever swum by a long way.

New Hope Children's centre is located in the Uplands area of Kenya, just north of Nairobi. The centre is home to approximately 90 children with 180 being supported in the community, ensuring they're able to go to school, eat and have basic medical care. The centre also supports local adults (The Grannies) who live in the community and find themselves in unfortunate circumstances, often due to poor health. 

The Ukraine crisis is unimaginable for those in Ukraine and we recognise supporting them is currently a lot of people's priority (rightly so), but the knock on impact is massive for those in Kenya, A huge proportion of food is grown in Ukraine and exported to Kenya, with this being unavailable at the moment, prices of some goods have more than doubled. 

Food increase examples:
Bag of 2kg maize flour - KSH80 > KSH140
Cooking oil increase by over 50% and is therefore no longer purchased. 

Every single penny that is donated will go towards ensuring the neediest of the community are provided with the food and nutrients they require.
