Year: 2018

Ben is planning ahead - once he has found something that works he is arranging it to do it again!! He is only 5 weeks into his fundraising and has already raised £700!! I felt so excited after listening to the first presentation. I knew I had a a lot of fundraising to do and that's when I thought maybe this isn't going to be as simple as I thought. 2020 seems ages away but it's not that long away...

Ellie got started with fundraising straight away with a simple activity.  The success spurred her woth her fundraising, and she has gone on to do bigger and better events - including a miniature field festival! When I first heard about the trip I was extremely excited about the opportunity to go to Peru. I loved the idea of being able to help other people and so I began researching the trip immediately. I knew it was going to be hard...

We've heard of cake sales, car boot sales, craft sales and even pie sales...how about a SAMOSA SALE!! Some great organisation and innovation has made this a bi-weekly occurance at this school.....have a read! When I first heard about this I was so excited (I STILL AM)!- all I can think of to this day, is the experience I’m going to get off this trip that most are missing out on so it’s great! Planning my first event wasn’t easy...

Have you ever wondered how you can continue making a difference once you return home from a volunteering expedition? Last year, two of our Camp Kenya volunteers did just that. Inspired by their time in Kenya, Melissa and Isabel wanted to continue the positive impact they had made after they returned home. They decided to launch an ambitious fundraising initiative to provide shoes for the children in the communities they visited. These specially-designed shoes will last each child for years...

Sophie stormed ahead with her fundraising... proving that when you get stuck in, you really can get off to a great start.  On top of that, she is making sure to step outside her comfort zone with her fundraising activities to maximise sponsorship!! When I first heard about the trip I was so excited, travelling to different country’s is something I have always wanted to do and I was so grateful not only go to Costa Rica but go scuba...

Charlie has worked hard since she signed up to her expedition in November, and has nearly reached £4000 since February! Some really successful fundraising events prove that hard work pays off! Well done Charlie! When I first heard about the expedition, I was really intrigued as to what going to Cambodia was all about. When I first saw the conditions over in Cambodia I felt that I had to go over and help the people in need. I have always...

Well done to Matt who has achieved his fundraising goal ready for his expedition next summer - some hard work and commitment and he has made it! When I first heard about the expedition I thought that it was going to be really hard to raise all the money that I would need to go on the trip in just 18 months. However it is such a great opportunity to travel to South America to visit different cultures and help...

Catherine got straight into her fundraising as soon as she joined her school expedition, kick starting with a sale of unused items.  She then completed a 6 hour and 39,421 step sponsored walk to cover 20miles! As soon as I heard about the expedition in a school assembly I knew I would like to be part of it. It sounds so exciting and yet terrifying in equal measure. But it will be an amazing opportunity that I can’t wait to...
