the london duathlon · 13 May 2009

Ashley Educational Trust was set up in 1978 to promote educational projects which foster a greater appreciation of personal freedom and responsibility along with an effective concern for others. It encourages young and old alike to volunteer their time and skills for service projects and provides opportunities to help increase their social awareness. We believe Christian principles contribute to character development and are the basis of good society, and we try to foster virtues such as loyalty, service and integrity in all of our activities. Coniston Hall university residence and Ashley Catering establishment are major projects of AET. Coniston offers a range of opportunities to complement the university experience and contributes to the all-round development of young women. In addition to an atmosphere conducive to study and intellectual enquiry, it provides possibilities of cultural and spiritual development. From day one, educational projects for the benefit of the local community have been promoted from Coniston Hall in Longsight, Ardwick, Hulme, Moss Side and Wythenshawe; Coniston Hall founded one of the original homework clubs in inner-city Manchester. Over 400 residents and other students have helped thousands of beneficiaries.

Story

This year, rather than the 'normal' 10K, we decided it would be good to have a bit more of a challenge and opted for a duathlon - 10k run, 20k cycle, 5k run!

You won't be surprised that I am again trying to raise finds for AET so that they can continue their work in and around Manchester.

Most of you are well aware of the refurbishment of Coniston happening at the moment. 

AET has also set up links with Monkole Hospital in DR Congo. The hospital, opened in 1991 serves three districts whose half million people are refugees from DR Congo's recent years of civil war. At the moment Monkole is equipped to carry out 350 surgical opeations a year, which falls far short of demand. The hospital has very little space for women and children, who are particularly endangered in this under-developed country. AET is helping to raise funds for a Mother and Child wing which will consist of a ward with 130 beds, a surgery section, and a department for complementary medicine.

Don't forget if you are a UK taxpayer to Gift Aid any donations, that way AET will receive 28% more.
