Raising money for

Tree Aid

Charity Registration No. 296708

TREE AID supports some of the poorest communities in Africa to fight poverty, become self reliant and improve their environment using trees. Since 1987 more than 450,000 villagers have planted more than 6 million trees. Trees mean shade, shelter, improved soil & crops, food, natural medicines, animal fodder, building materials, fuel for cooking, tools, and products that can be sold for money. TREE AID's support to fund and train families in sustainable land use means communities can thrive and not just survive, now and for generations to come.

My story

Tree Aid Cycle Marathon

On Saturday 20th June I'm hoping to complete an 87 mile circumnavigation of Bristol on the Avon Cycle Way to raise money for a very worthwhile charity, Tree Aid. You can see the route here:

Tree Aid's operations are mainly in Burkino Faso - one of the poorest nations on earth. They help people find ways to use trees to generate sustainable wealth through tree husbandry and the retail of tree-derived products. Such as cosmetics made from seed oil.

£10 plants and cares for a tree so it will start producing fruit that can feed a family and be sold for money to pay for education and healthcare. £35 means Forestry Know-how training can be delivered to villagers so they learn how to germinate seeds, manage nurseries, protect & care for trees, and learn sustainable soil care techniques. £100 buys a bicycle - a low cost and low impact way for farmers to reach and support their trees and crops.

Thank you,

Nick
