Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! 

-If you are able to donate please do, however, if you are unable to do so, just taking the time to share page would be wonderful!

I am running in The Virgin Sport British 10k to help support UN Women’s fantastic work in political access and empowerment of women and directly help further their work towards breaking down the legal, social and cultural barriers preventing women from voting worldwide.

"I raise up my voice- not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard. We cannot succeed when half of us are held back." - Malala Yousafzai

-My current target is £200, however, if I am able to surpass that, it would be great!  

A bit about me: 

I have a strong passion for humanitarian work. I have previously worked in my local council as a Youth Quality assessor. This role allowed me to improve youth club provisions in my local area and I am currently a Young Researcher for the National Children’s Bureau.

I am interested in supporting international development and have also completed shadowing work experience at the Department for International Development, Whitehall London. The experience allowed me to gain an in-depth knowledge of the running of the department for international development as well as liaise with Justine Green MP and Baroness Verma, which allowed me to learn and experience first-hand what the role entailed.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving. 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.

Please help to support my fundraising by donating whatever you can to support me. Every little helps. 

Thank you !
