Hi

My name is Aimee Symons and I am studying Sport, Exercise and Physical Activity at Durham University. I have been fortunate enough to be selected, along with 4 others, to go to Lusaka in Zambia for 6 weeks as part of the Wallace Group Project 2019.

Working alongside the NGO Sport in Action and National Governing Bodies, I will be providing sports coaching, leadership development and PE for 160,000 children from local disadvantaged communities, and aim to make a difference to the lives of the young Zambians both while I am out there but also after my departure. My time will be spent coaching at a netball Hub to progress school children into youth leagues and beyond and also work with U15 and U17 talent squads to develop their netball.

This project requires me to raise £1500 to help provide equipment, facility development and more to make sport in Zambia more sustainable after we leave.

I would greatly receive any donations or contributions towards this project to go alongside fundraising we are carrying out as a team at University.

Thank you.
