I’m running my first half marathon this May to raise money for Play Action International. This summer I am joining them on a trip Uganda to build a playground, I am covering the cost of the trip myself but raising money for the charity I’m going with. More information about their work is below….Thank you for any donations, Lucy x

Our awesome and dedicated team of volunteers will be heading to Uganda in summer 2024! We will be transforming an empty field at a local school into a vibrant playground so that children can access a childhood!

Your generous support will enable Play Action International to create a legacy of play within the local community. We can create an environment where children's development and well-being are supported and children are able to learn essential skills that will allow them to reach their potential. Join us in creating a legacy of play, laughter, growth, and endless possibilities.

As a result of playgrounds being built, schools report that:

- 98% report an increase in attendance in school.

- 74% of children gave 'The Playground' as a reason to attend school.

- 83% of teachers reported improvements in children's attention and behaviour in classes.

Donate now to play a key role in supporting this amazing project, ensuring that every swing, slide, and moment of fun contributes to a brighter future for the children, school and wider community. We're incredibly grateful for your support!
