We at Stephen James have set ourselves a competition for November - who can clock up the most miles by running, walking and cycling - Enfield v the South!  

The competition is serious!!

We've signed up to put in as many miles as we can - so we'll be fitter, happier and Beyond Ourselves, Stephen James' chosen charity, will have some much needed funds to put to their projects with community schools in Zambia.

Any donations are much appreciated.  

During this pandemic, the schools we partner with in Zambia closed and, in accordance with the government regulations, the feeding programmes stopped as well. Even though the schools were shut we continued to contribute to all staff salaries at our partner schools at this time as we are aware how desperate many of their home situations would be without this much needed income. We have also continued to mentor teachers during this time via video and WhatsApp.However, with the absence of our regular UK school and business fundraising and the cancelled marathons and bike rides, we have an obvious gap in our budget to cover the school staff salaries. We are asking that you would partner with us to "bridge the gap'".We know everyone's financial situation is different, but for those of you who have found that during this time you have saved money on your commute and after work socialising(!), we'd be very grateful if you would consider sending us a donation.
