My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Freshfields has been sending teams to "Habitat for Humanity" housebuilds for some years now. I am a team member on a build in Northern Ghana in the first week of May. As you can see from the picture on the left, they need as many houses as we can build. If this isn't enough to persuade you to help pay for the building materials we will use, an alternative motive might be to encourage the concept of a bunch of City lawyers doing hard labour in tropical conditions.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Habitat for Humanity 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.

So please sponsor me now!
