Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page - this will be my 366th Fundraising project some big and some small spanning over 5 decades and I hope you can give it some support.

Food and Sport for All Project

My growing 'Food and Sport for All' Project is now in its 6th year. This year I plan to raise £5000 for the Arctic One Foundation (www.arctic1.co.uk) and collect 10000 Items of Food for the Trussell Trust and their Food Banks and raise £2800 for the Orphaned Children of Faisalabad.

All donations on this page will support The Arctic One Foundation and their 'Forward Motion' Grant System which so far has provided 440 Grants representing 36 different Para Sports.

In September with good health I plan to cycle across Iceland. Nothing major is about 550km but the terrain and climate will be challenging. The ride will be unsupported.

Can I complete it........to be honest I'm really not sure. I really hope so!

In December 2025 I plan to undertake my annual hike - details to follow on this page.

Both the Cycle and Walk are all self funded and all monies raised will go to the Charities. My aim is to raise £5000 and collect 10000 items of food.

There will be a number of ways you can get involved including

1. Donating on this Page - I will be raffling some artwork for all Donation.

2. Collecting and Donating some items of Food - Collection points will be set up and it may be possible to pick up your items too.

3. Donating cash to purchase food. This can be cash, paypal matt.kirby@btinternet.com or bank transfer please get in touch for details.

4. Purchasing some 'Seasons Artwork'

5. Donating and Foreign or British Currency old or new.

5. Placing Bids on the Online Art Auctions, Coin, Notes and Stamp Auctions

All proceeds raised from July 1st and the end of the year will be put on this page.

More details will follow via my own Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/matt.j.kirby and Instagram @5000mattkirby

This will be my 295th Fundraiser spanning over many decades
