This isn't the first time I have put on my running shoes and asked you to dig deep for Build Africa ... and it won't be the last!

But this year is an extra special one for me, because in June I will have the privilege of being part of Euroclear's ten-(wo)man team heading to Uganda with Build Africa to work with the Angangam primary school and community.

Money that you donate here will be matched by Euroclear so don't give half ... give double, and help me smash my target!

Build Africa works with rural communities to make sure they gain skills and knowledge to help them break out of the cycle of poverty and secure their future. Our partnership with the charity brings funding and hands-on support to pupils, teachers and to the wider community through savings and loans schemes.
