Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

In November 2014 I will be supporting Retrak with colleagues fromGreater Manchester Police & Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service on a mission to help children living on the streets in Uganda.

Retrak works to enable street children to move from a life of vulnerability, exclusion and poverty living on the streets to a life within a positive family or community where all household members are healthy, emotionally well, safe, educated and trained and economically dependent. They prevent highly vulnerable children being pushed to street life by working alongside families and communities to ensure they have the resources and skills to care for children. 

I have no doubt that this will be the biggest and most emotional challenge I have ever undertaken but thankfully I am lucky enough to have the support of family and friends.

With an ambitious target to reach, I will be planning fundraising events and activities throughout the year. Any donation you can provide will make such a huge difference and to give you an idea of how much your money matters.

  • £50 will provide shelter, food & safety for a street child for a month
  • £75 will pay for school fees for a year
  • £150 will pay for the recruitment of a foster family for a street child
  • £500 will pay for 100 medical treatments

On behalf of those children helped by Retrak, thank you.
