MAG (Mines Advisory Group)

Charity Registration No. 1083008

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide. MAG is co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for its work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which culminated in the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty - the international agreement that bans antipersonnel landmines, sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Convention. MAG moves into current and former conflict zones to clear the remnants of those conflicts, enabling recovery and assisting the development of affected populations. MAG consults with local communities and works to lessen the threat of death and injury, while releasing reclaimed and safe land and other vital resources back to the local population, helping countries to rebuild and develop their social and economic potential. MAG has worked in around 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

My story

You can watch my exploits by clicking 'My video' on the left.

After a bit of dodgy weather, Friday 18th December was the actual date of my 'For One Day Only' sponsored busk round Cumbria. It took 11 and a half hours to do the full 170 mile circuit, togged up to the hilt with many layers to combat the cold.

The places visited were: Ulverston, Kendal, Penrith, Keswick and Cockermouth, with 40 minute busk in each, apart from an abridged slot in Cockermouth due to Main Street being deserted due to the post-flood clean up. In all I made £22.89 on the actual busk sessions, which will be added to the sponsorship total.
