I have found it very difficult to sit down and write this page this year. Many of you who know me will be aware of the tragic and untimely death of Phil and Ali's daughter Hollie at the start of the year. The staggering support that has been shown, in memory of Hollie has resulted me in putting off and putting off my own ask. So many of you have supported our family in so many ways and we are all very very grateful.
Please may I now ask you to consider supporting another charity that is doing fantastic work to change people's lives, Skillshare International. Here's why I would be so appreciative of any support you may be willing to offer.
I am doing this for the women and children who are trafficked against their will and are trying to rebuild their lives in Nepal and India, I am doing this for school children in Kenya who are at risk of disease because they do not have access to clean drinking water and I am doing this so that women In Botswana who are daily victims of gender based violence in their own homes can have a voice, speak out and receive the justice they deserve. I am doing this because I believe we can make a difference.Skillshare International, is working to reduce poverty, inequality and injustice in some of the poorest communities in Africa and Asia. They work with partners to empower individuals and transform lives and communities. They do this by sharing and developing skills and ideas and facilitating organisational and social change, basically they enable people to lift themselves out of poverty.
I believe that when people join together, we can make a difference! Therefore whatever you can give is great - and will go towards bringing about change in vulnerable communities.
