On 7 April 2024, I will be running my first ever marathon (eeeeeeek!) to raise money for the Kokrobite Chiltern Centre (KCC).

Through my role as a Trustee, I see firsthand the difference KCC makes to the children and families of Kokrobite, a fishing community to the west of Accra in Ghana.

KCC enables local children to attend school and gain an education. KCC provides additional out-of-school learning support, Teacher Professional Development, resources for schools and community groups, and opportunities and facilities for arts, sports and other co-curricular activities. KCC has worked with international volunteers to introduce a solar-powered aquaponics system, has educated and empowered locals to build a desalination plant to secure clean water for the community, has built learning facilities using discarded plastic bottles, and during the Covid-19 pandemic, KCC made and supplied anti-bacterial handsanitiser. KCC's reach is truly endless.

I am aiming to raise £1,500. Any donation, big or small, would be hugely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!
