RWC Handstand T-Shirt Challenge Against Racism · 31 May 2020

Protection Approaches is a human rights charity working to tackle all forms of identity-based violence, from hate crime to violent extremism and genocide. Through research, campaigns, education, and grassroots engagement we build understanding of how to end such violence in the UK and globally.

Story

Covid-19 has not only impacted the physical and mental health of individuals, it has also impacted local communities from a social inclusion and solidarity perspective. 

Outbreaks create fear, and fear is a key ingredient for racism and other forms of identity based discrimination to thrive.

I personally know a number of people who have recently suffered racist abuse linked to Covid-19.

I would like to raise money to support educational workshops to help equip the next generation of London school children with the understanding they need to reject all forms of identity based violence. 


Challenge

I will be attempting the "Handstand T-shirt Challenge". You can see an example of the Spider-man actor Tom Holland doing this:

I will upload a video of myself doing this the earlier of (a) when the fund raising reaches £2000 or (b) by the end of June (I need to get back in to shape given I am only just recovered from Covid-19 myself).

I will upload the video to this site & to my instagram account

SUPPORT

I would be very grateful for your support via this Justgiving page. Please also join in with this fun challenge* and upload your own videos on instagram and tag me / DM and use the hashtag above.

(*Clearly the challenge has a risk of physical injury, so please only attempt if you are comfortable with it and please stay safe!)

MATCHING

My employer RWC Partners ( www.rwcpartners.com )
has kindly put aside monies to support its employee's raising funds for local communities impacted by Covid-19 via their Social Enterprise, Environment, Diversity Program (SEED). There is the potential for every pound raised on this challenge to be tripled!* 

(*Subject to successful application)
