I’m sure you’d agree that all children deserve the best start in life. Together, we can make that a reality! Please sponsor my journey as I take on the 2025 Crystal Palace Triathlon to raise funds for a brand-new school playground.

As Chair of the PTA, this project is incredibly close to my heart. I’m passionate about creating a space where children can learn, grow, and play—so after an 11-year break (and one child later!), I’m dusting off my tri suit and jumping back in. Let’s hope it still fits!

Beyond fundraising, my personal goal is to inspire the next generation to believe that with intention, determination, and courage, we can achieve incredible things. This challenge won’t be easy, but neither is making a real difference—and together, we can do both!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting me in creating a lasting impact for our school community. Let’s make this happen!

Project Playground

As a Zone 2 London school with limited outdoor space, Ashmead has been fortunate to provide its children with the joy of imaginative play in the cherished treehouse and treewalk, nestled among the trees. For over a decade, these spaces have been a source of wonder and creativity. Sadly, due to irreparable decay and accessibility issues, the beloved treewalk has had to be removed, leaving a significant void in our play area.

We intend to raise £50,000 to replace the treewalk with a new, interactive, and engaging play area that reflects the school’s creativity and unique character. This new space will foster active and imaginative play, recreating the experience of being among the trees while providing a calm, safe, and secure environment where children can thrive. Additionally, this project celebrates the school’s 50th anniversary, creating a lasting legacy for current and future generations of children and families.

Research shows that outdoor play promotes;

- Teamwork & Friendship Building

- Exercise & Motor Skills

- Creativity & Problem Solving

- Connection to Nature & Sensory Experiences

- Stress Reduction & Confidence

- Improved Academic Focus & Enhanced Learning
