Raising money for Trees for Cities

Charity Registration No. 1032154

Trees for Cities is an independent charity working to improve the environment in urban areas by involving local people in community tree planting, training and landscaping projects. We manage projects across London, in Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, the Midlands and Reading as well as internationally in Addis Ababa, Nairobi and Ica, Peru. All our community greening projects are supported by extensive community consultation and involvement programmes that incorporate local residents, schools and community groups. As well as educating local people about our projects, in London we also run a series of horticulture, arboriculture and woodland management courses specialising in developing and up-skilling the long-term unemployed.

! I can't believe I'm really doing this! When I helped found Trees for Cities 16 years ago, a marathon to me meant outlasting everyone else at one of our all-night fundraising raves. Oh how times have changed! I've never run a real Marathon before (or even a half one) but I believe passionately in the work Trees for Cities does, bringing hope and happiness to children and adults in Britain's run-down inner-city areas, helping in the fight against global warming and supporting communities in Ethiopia, Kenya and Peru. I'm trying to bring in as much sponsorship money as I can. My target is to raise £10,000 – enough to pay for an edible playground (where kids grow produce for their own school dinners) at an urban school.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Trees for Cities gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks so much for your help!
