We did it, and more. ✨

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve raised a whopping £850, well beyond our £750 target. I honestly can’t thank you enough for every donation, share, and kind word along the way.

And in the spirit of going a little further, I ended up walking 23.5 km instead of 20. It feels very fitting, because together we went beyond the goal in every possible way.

All of this is going towards something really special. Hotham Primary is transforming a historic 1908 annexe into a creative space where children can truly be themselves through art, music, and dance. When budgets are tight, these are often the first opportunities to disappear, yet they’re the ones that help children grow in confidence, find their voice, and connect with others.

Because of you, more children will have the chance to pick up an instrument, paint freely, perform, and feel proud of what they create. These moments might seem small, but they can quietly change a child’s world.

Thank you for being part of this. 💛
