Story

Hey! Thank you so much for visiting my JustGiving page - I'm relying on you guys to help me reach my fundraising target! So please read on (and have a laugh at my video - I'm clearly not destined to be in front of a camera!) :) 

The ICS entrepreneur scheme and Challenges Worldwide are giving me the amazing opportunity to go and work in Ghana with a local volunteer at a small enterprise. I'll be leaving at the end of this month! When I'm over there we'll be finding ways the business can become more sustainable and profitable, whilst improving the employability of locals. My trip will be fully funded by ICS but as they're such a great charity, I'm doing some fundraising so the charity can continue to make an impact. 

Feel free to have a wander over to the following links to find out more about the charities.

One of my main fundraising efforts will be to 'live below the line'. This means living on just £1 per day for food and drink for 5 days. Whilst this will be a huge challenge for me, its something than thousands of people around the world have to do all the time. 

Donating through JustGiving is super simple and safe! Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity. You can donate by debit/credit card or even text! 

Thank you for reading this and be sure to check back for wee updates on how its all going! :)
