Hi and thanks for visiting my fundraising page!

Last year I watched my Dad (Steve) and Brother (Matt) complete the Derby 10k fundraising for upbeat. Last year I said I want to do that and this year I am doing it!

In year 10 I spent a week of work experience at Upbeat Communities. It was an incredible week and I still think about it today. I took part in helping with English classes, women groups, children groups and going to refugees houses to help them build a new life in the UK.

Upbeat’s activities provide a life line to those who have fled war in search of safety, and who need to be welcomed into the community.

I’ve seen the suffering these people go through first hand. Firstly having gone through unimaginable trauma in their home countries and then into a hostile asylum process.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and please donate if you can to help a very very important cause.
