Hi and thanks for visiting my JustGiving page!

Over the next four months, I'm aiming to walk from Dover to Winchester, which takes in the North Downs and Pilgrims Way - approximately 165 miles.

I'd love to raise funds for a charity we support at The United Church, Winchester - the Joliba Trust. The Trust works in some of the most marginal areas of Mali, supporting grassroots development work with farming and cattle-raising communities. Their particular focus is on projects to help women and environmental work to sustain rural livelihoods. They have very low administrative costs and are able to spend 95% of the funds raised directly on field projects.'Joliba' is the local name for the River Niger and means 'riches of life'.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please consider making a donation now - no matter how large or small.

Thanks

Alison
