What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Story
Tom has decided to take part in a trip to Ghana in 2018.
Facilitated by the school and run by African Adventures, he'll take part in community work with underprivileged children, teaching at a local school (including some refurbishment of the facilities) and some full on football coaching!
Tom has shown real engagement with this opportunity and is fully committed to raising the money needed to pay for the trip himself, hence this page. He plans to do a number of sponsored events this year and will be setting up and running a blog of his activities (url to follow soon).
Louise and I are exceptionally proud of Tom and his desire to help others through this initiative and thank each and every one of you who is willing and able to support him on this great journey.

1 year agoTo start off the fundraising, Tom (and me, his dad!) will be running a 5k run this Thursday (15th June) around Basingstoke. He's younger, fitter, less fat and has longer legs than me, so this is probably harder on me than it is him!
