Emerging Influencers is a six week leadership programme for 17-23 year olds. This community of young adults is raising money for Tearfund's life saving work in helping people to continue to lift themselves out of poverty.

Story

I'm currently on a 6-week course called Emerging Influencers led by Tearfund, aimed at developing leadership skills in young people and equipping them to use their spheres of influence to challenge injustice and make a change.

I've been really encouraged at what God's been saying during the course and am really inspired by the work Tearfund are doing to end extreme poverty. I believe this goal is possible, and i'm asking for your help to raise money so Tearfund can contiue helping those living in poverty, which is especially tough during the pandemic.

My grandma Carole and I are undertaking the 24 challenge in March to fundraise!

On the 28th of March, I will bake 24 things in 24 hours (if you're from Edinburgh, you could get a bake dropped off at your door!) 

Carole, in all her 70-odd-year-old glory, is going to be walking AT LEAST 24 miles over 24 days in March!

We will also be baking bags of 6 cookies that can be dropped off to you (or a loved one, just write the address). The suggested donation is £3 a bag.

The 24 challenge represents the 24 million people in need of humanitarian aid in Yemen. We are aiming to raise £1000, which can empower 770 households to lift themselves out of poverty by being taught new farming skills. 

Any donation you would be willing able to give will be so, so appreciated.
