Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.

Whilst doing this for a breast cancer charity was very tempting, actually I think the small amount I'm likely to raise is more likely to make a meaningful difference to a much smaller charity, CARAS. For a lot refugee and asylum seeking children and mothers in London, life is pretty cruel and this charity is their lifeline. Having volunteered at this charity, it feels bizarrely like a family, which is pretty amazing given the different background people come from. Giving a few pounds to this charity translates into things like: helping refugees find homes, teaching them some basic English, running after-school clubs where the children can stop feeling like outsiders, or taking children on a trip to see the sea for the first time.

Thank you very much indeed for donating.
