Story

As you all know Geoff is taking us on a trip of a lifetime to Miami to celebrate his 50th birthday and is adamant that he doesn't want any gifts. And despite a number of us pushing him on this, he’s standing firm – saying “if you are determined to spend some money, pick a good charity…”

Loads of you may already have charities close to your heart or indeed other things in hand - which is brilliant. But if anyone is looking for a bit of inspiration – a couple of us had a little idea...

Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University is a wonderful charity who help ignite the dreams of disadvantaged children growing up in the region. Of the many wonderful experiences they offer – a highlight is their day trip to London...as this is always the one that makes a huge impact on the children they work with.

However, it costs the team £2k to send a class down to London for the day from Hull – and so trips don’t happen very often. And we just wondered if we could raise some money to support a trip, or even fund a full trip for one class, it could be a wonderful way of toasting Geoff’s birthday by uniting two of his worlds (Hull and London) and supporting others less fortunate than us to have their own inspirational adventure.

No pressure at all to donate – and we’re conscious with only weeks to go – you may well have other things in hand. But if not – we promise you this is a truly wonderful charity – and we felt it could be a lovely thing for us join forces on – bringing Geoff’s Hull and London worlds together - and celebrating one incredible trip by helping to offer another one back….
