Story

Hi! Thank you so much for clicking on our fundraising page and spending 5 minutes to hear our story. In 2022, alongside our team members, we're hoping to raise money and make an invaluable difference to the children in Uganda. Alongside the adventure aspect of the trip, we will be building and maintaining playgrounds in hope to offer children with the multiple benefits of play. We're fortunate enough to be in the position, alongside the help of an amazing charity, to truly make a difference and give back. Presently, due to the coronavirus, our lives have temporarily been put on pause. Despite this, one aspect which we can continue to do is give back.  While fundraising may be a little different this year, our ability to make a difference still stands and is perhaps more influential than ever. Anything anyone can give will be much appreciated and will go a long way, regardless of the amount. Anything raised over the amount will help go to our flights and would be appreciated untold amounts. Thank you for reading our story.

Here's a little summary of the direct impact we are hoping to make directly from the charity, Play Action International:

Our mission is to ignite every disadvantaged child’s potential through the power of play! In many communities across the world, play is not seen as a priority, despite it being one of the fundamental rights of a child. By increasing access to play and education, we support the long-term health, well-being and employment prospects of children, empowering them to map their own paths to brighter futures. Play gives children their childhoods back, and we believe that every child, everywhere, deserves to enjoy the benefits of play. Our team of volunteers will be heading out to Uganda in summer 2021 to assist with transforming an empty field at a local school into an exciting new playgrounds bursting with colour and fun, leaving a legacy for children to learn and develop essential life skills and nurture their physical, psychological and social development. They will also be taking on a huge adventure challenge consisting of kayaking, rafting, biking, hiking and climbing all to raise money for Play Action International!
