Hand in Hand is passionate about giving children born in poverty a hope for the future. Our ultimate aim is for each child's life to be transformed and the cycle of poverty to be broken.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For many years I have been raising money to help a community in Kenya. New Hope is home to up to 120 children and in addition we support c100 families in the local community. Our focus is on funding education but during the pandemic and the cost of living crisis this focus has spread a little to ensure families could continue to survive and could eat.

Our fantastic supporters have again stepped up and whilst we are increasingly utilising our reserves we have been able to make sure that families were fed and weren't consistently going to bed hungry.

In 2021 I completed the London Marathon despite being injured. It was probably a bit of a mistake as 18 months later I am only just starting to run injury free again. I have been fortunate enough to secure a place in the London Marathon for 2023 so my focus now is on getting fit enough to be able to complete this iconic race. 

If you were able to sponsor me you can rest assured that every penny donated will go direct to helping families and children at New Hope eat and have an education to give them the best chance we can of breaking the cycle of poverty.. 

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
