My story

 

Hello!

So yeah the hair is going. But its all in aid of a great cause. No, I'm not referring to my personal appearance. The target is £200 or more before next Wednesday (28th). Soon, I know. But that just means all the more excitement!

I'm doing this to help out People & Planet (you can read about them on the left). They punch way above their weight - they have a real and lasting effect through empowering students to campaign on root causes of injustice. I know, because they've given me great opportunities over the past 2 years. They've enabled me to meet ministers and MPs, go to top-quality workshops, learn loads from their campaign research, have a democratic say in the future of their network, the list goes on. The same is true of 1000s of other students.

Here's the problem...People & Planet are almost totally dependant on grant funding. But there's never enough grants to go round all these charities.  Not getting some grant funding this year has left a £60,000 shortfall, and People & Planet only have an annual budget of around £500k, which is tiny compared to campaigning charities of a comparable size.

So please help my fellow students to continue changing the world for the better.

Thanks a lot for your support,

David
