Jo's fundraiser for SAVTE (Sheffield Association for the Voluntary Teaching of English)

Jo Holliday is raising money for SAVTE (Sheffield Association for the Voluntary Teaching of English)

My first ever quadrathlon! · 5 July 2026

SAVTE’s mission is to support people develop the necessary English language skills to help them gain confidence and become independent, active citizens. Our language volunteers work with people in community settings or their homes, helping speakers of other languages learn everyday English.

Story

I run a small charity which does an amazing job supporting people in Sheffield to learn English. We train volunteers who support around 1500 people a year in our conversation groups and home based programme.

We are funded through a variety of grants from the public sector and trusts and foundations. Most of the funds we receive cover our core costs of staff and overheads. Any funds raised by my event will directly support our learners to be able to take part in an activity together with our volunteers. This could be a trip to a local park, the city art galleries and museums. For us this is about our vision of a Sheffield where everyone can participate, connect and flourish. But these things cost money. £7.20 will pay for a day's bus/tram pass.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
