On the 21st November, our beloved Zeynep tragically lost her life. In her memory, her family would like to raise money in her honour, all the money raised will be split equally between two charities.

The first is New Hope’s Children Centre in Kenya, a charity that was very close to Zeynep’s heart as she spent two weeks helping there in the summer of this year. The second charity is Young Minds, an amazing organisation that works to support children and young people suffering from mental health issues. Three children in every classroom suffer from a mental health related problem and this organisation is working tirelessly to provide these young people with the support they need.

Zeynep was an intelligent, loving, kind and beautiful young woman who had a passion for travel and charity work. We would love to be able to honour the virtues that made her so special and so, rather than flowers, we would really appreciate donations that can be used to help others in her name.

Please show your support for her family at this most difficult of times by giving as generously as you can. You can also help us by clicking the ‘Share on Facebook’ button or otherwise using your social media to help us get the word out there and hopefully exceed our new target of £10,000.

Thank you in advance for your love and support.
