    Story

    *Background*

    We live in a society that has fulfils us with an abundance of physiological needs such as food, shelter, water, clothes, and sleep. In fact, we surpass this with the presence of love, belonging, safety, security, time and freedom.

    However, a large proportion of society are struggling and do not get even the basics of needs. There is an immense struggle of food, water and shelter etc, which is reflected in the rising prevalence of homeless people who do not have the privileges that we do, yet we turn a blind eye to this every single day.

    Divine Foundation want to make a difference to those in need. Previously, we have raised money as part of charity events (boxing, marathons, and football), but have always been left with a bad taste not knowing where the donations end up. So we figured we would do it ourselves and personally give to those that are less fortunate.

    It is time to stop talking and reflecting on these problems – and instead; act upon it!

    However, although we can instigate this movement, we need your support to come along on this journey with us. Are you in?

    *Why Us?*

    The truth is, it does not have to be through us. There are hundreds of charities out there, but we want to act as an intermediary to raise awareness, which in turn encourages humanitarian acts.

    We have everything we could ever have asked for. Health, wealth, wellbeing, and little-to-no worry. But the question to ask is; when we leave this world, what did do for others? Did we leave the world better than when we entered? We did not feel comfortable knowing whether giving to charity was going to make an impact, so we thought, why not do it ourselves?

    *What are we doing?*

    How will we operate differently to orthodox charities? Well, it starts off the same – raising money (via JustGiving.com). But thereafter is where things become a little unorthodox. We will take this money, go out to small independent stores, and purchase fresh fruit, food, water, and clothing, and personally walk along the streets of different cities in the UK to hand deliver our purchases to those that are in need. Although your donations are sufficient enough, you are welcome to come along with us to physically carry out this charitable act. If not, then follow our movement on Instagram (@Divine.Foundation) to see your donation being utilised ethically.

    *How are we doing it?*

    To encourage donations, we will be doing multiple challenging, ranging from mountain hikes to bike rides from city to city, and sky dives. Your donations WILL NOT contribute towards this, it will go entirely to the purchasing of food, water, and clothing.

    *When and Where are we doing it?*

    The first challenge will begin with a walk up ‘Scalfell Pike, the tallest mountain in England, on 2nd March 2019, with the actual physical charity act taking place on 30th March 2019.

    We will continue this on rotation of 3 times annually.

    *What do we need from you?*

    We encourage you to think about others and just give selflessly. Whether that means you donate 1p or £1, or sharing our JustGiving/Instagram page to others – this will inevitably contribute to our cause.

    We will also be collecting clothing which can also be donated. You do not need to donate to us, but if you have clothes you do not wear, need or wasting away, select your own charity and let’s make a difference.

    *What have we done so far?*

    When we started in 2019, we did all of the above; raising £1250 that was used to feed/clothe ~100 homeless individuals. It was very warming to be able to do this, and the ones that benefited were the homeless! We plan to do more of this now in 2020.

    With your support, we can plant the seed of giving.
