As many of you will know, I sadly lost my husband Paul in 2020 to brain cancer. I’ve always had an adventurous streak in me, and I promised Paul I would never let that be diminished. In light of that, I’ve now signed up for my latest adventure in his memory, helping to build a school in South Africa for Mellon Educate (UK), to provide essential facilities for deprived township children and communities.

Since 2013, Mellon Educate has set about improving access to better standards of education in African townships. To date, the charity has built/renovated 32 schools, providing over 50,000 young children with a better chance at life. The charity are building towards educational programmes throughout Africa that will benefit over 100,000 primary school kids.

I’m so excited for the opportunity to work on a building blitz with Mellon Educate and see first hand where all donations end up and the immense impact it has on people’s lives - especially the children's.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
